WelcomeFor optimum health and wellness, welcome to our practice. We do have a small amount of paperwork for you to fill out for us. This helps tell us about you and your health condition. |
|

ConsultationWhen all your paperwork is completed, a consultation with the doctor will follow. The doctor will go over your health history, relief care and health goals to determine the best treatment plan. If you're a good candidate for chiropractic care and we think we can help, an examination follows. |

|
ExaminationThe doctor will provide a thorough exam using orthopedic, physical, neurological and/ or chiropractic tests to locate areas of your spine that could be the cause of your problem and to uncover ny other possible health issues. |

X-Rays?Depending on your condition, x-rays, MRI's, or other diagnostic imaging may be necessary. These images can help rule out pathologies, reveal a history of your spinal health and act as a "blueprint" for cost effective treatment. |

Treatment?With a complete understanding of your condition, the doctor will typically provide you with treatment during the first visit. To begin promoting pain relief and healing, therapies may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue, and/ or physical therapies |

Home Care & ExerciseThe doctor may give the patient further instructions such as activities that should be avoided, icing & heat protocols, exercises, stretches and other things to do to help speed promote healing and joint stabilization while away from the chiropractic office. |

Appointments & Reports?The Doctor will discuss a report of findings, x-rays and recommend a treatment program and follow up visit(s) unique to your individual needs. Once you have gained a complete understanding of your condition, and the benefits of chiropractic care, you will be able to enjoy better health through safe and gentle spinal adjustments. How long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you. |
