What to expect on your first visit

Chiropractors have a          functional approach to the spine, we want to determine how your spine is moving or functioning, how it got to that state and the best way to get it moving again.

To begin with we want to find out about your health history.  This means that we want to know about your presenting complaint as well as what's happened in your health, recently and in the past. We find out about your complaint by asking you questions and performing an exam.

Our exam includes a postural evaluation, a thermograph scan, range of motion checks, palpation and whatever orthopaedic tests are indicated.  We will often take x-rays so we can get a better understanding of your spine.

Once the chiropractor has processed and correlated all your consultation and examination information, you will return for your report to be told about the state of your spine.  If you are a chiropractic candidate then we will recommend chiropractic care, which involves adjustments to your spine.

If we find a medical disease then we will need to refer you elsewhere.  However, over 90% of patients do not have a medical disease, most have a functional problem in their spine which falls within the scope of a chiropractor, and can be helped by a chiropractor.

Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to restore function to the joints of the spine, with an emphasis on manipulation or adjustment.  Countless studies show the amazing effectiveness of this form of spinal care, as well as consistently high patient satisfaction scores.

If you think there may be a problem with your spine, the best time to get it checked out is ASAP.  Call us for an appointment.
