Your First Visit

During the initial visit your chiropractor will take a detailed health history and perform a physical examination particularly focusing on your spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. Other examinations or tests such as x-rays may also be ordered. If chiropractic treatment is considered appropriate, a treatment plan will be developed to meet your specific needs by incorporating a variety of treatment techniques including:

• Hands on adjustments - Diversified Technique
• Muscle release techniques
• Drop piece adjustment - Thompson technique
• Hand held instrument adjustment - Activator Methods

NOTE: Please ask what methods of treatment your doctor uses in practice, as individual chiropractors employ different styles.

If your chiropractor diagnosis a condition that would be appropriately treated or co-treated by another health care professional, he or she will make the appropriate referral.

Follow up visits

During follow up visits your chiropractor may utilize one or more of the many different kinds of adjustments and manual care techniques used in chiropractic care. Your treatment will often include exercise, diet and other healthy living suggestions.
