What is chiropractic?
Natural method of healing, non-surgical, non-invasive and drugless treatment of patients. We treat the cause of the physical problems rather than just symptoms. We believe that the spine holds you're the key to your health. We adjust (manually applied gentle pressure that repositions the vertebrae) the Vertebrae, which contain the spinal cord within, thereby affecting all the surrounding tissues; including the spinal nerves, discs, muscles and ligaments. Therefore, a normally functioning spine and a healthy lifestyle will help your body to heal itself.
What is the first visit?
Your initial visit will include your medical background history and a copy of your present medical insurance card. Then your doctor will take a detailed History of your presenting problem, perform a physical exam that includes a physical, orthopedic (bone and muscle), and neurological (nerve) tests. Static and motion palpation will also be performed to look for restriction of range of motion, tenderness, pain, and swelling. Specific x-rays will be taken if needed. Your second visit will be the Doctor's report of findings and the beginning of your treatment plan.
