What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic health care focuses on the structural integrity of the body with emphasis on health disorders associated About chiropractic carewith the spine and central nervous system. Chiropractic is a drug free, non-surgical approach to healthcare, which does not include pharmaceuticals or incisive surgeries. The doctor performs an "adjustment" or "manipulation" of the vertebra, or joint,  which have abnormal movement patterns and fail to function properly.

What can you expect on your first visit?

A detailed physical examination and history will be  performed which may include x-rays, laboratory analysis, and other diagnostic procedures. Then,  your new patient file will be assembled, and office procedures and protocols will be explained. In some circumstances,  therapy or an adjustment or combination of the both will be performed on the first visit. However, In most cases the adjustment usually takes place on the second visit.  Bring as many of your medical records as possible on your first visit.

 Medical records consist of:

  • X-ray reports and actual X-ray films.

  • MRI  reports and actual MRI films.   

  • Electrodiagnostic (EMG/NCV) testing. 

  • Operative reports.

  • Blood testing results.

  • Prior Initial and Final medical reports.

What is the chiropractic adjustment or manipulation?

The adjustment is usually given by hand or activator type instrument and consists of applying pressure to the areas of the spine or joint that are out of alignment or do not move properly within their normal range of motion. Under normal circumstances, adjustments don't hurt, you just feel better. Sometimes you may experience a mild discomfort but it usually lasts only a few seconds. Sometimes a popping noise is heard, it's nothing more than a release of gas pressure between the two articulating joint surfaces. It's always recommended that after your first adjustment you avoid any strenuous activity for the remainder of the day, no lifting, or any  prolonged activities.

How long is my treatment going to last?

It's important to get you out of pain as quickly as possible, get your body back to functioning normally again, and then strengthen it a little to avoid future flare ups or exacerbations. Everyone's recovery is different and dependent on your age, condition, lifestyle and compliance with the recommended treatment plan, repeated visits may be needed. After your initial exam and consultation the chiropractic doctor will discuss your treatment plan in detail.
