Consultation
Prior to the consultation the doctor will review
your case history. During the consultation the Doctor
will ask you a number of questions regarding the
history of your condition, other Doctors you may
have seen and your current symptoms.
It is important during the consultation that the
Doctor gets a thorough understanding of your condition.
It is also important to understand what health
care goals the patient has regarding their care.
Do you simply want symptom relief? Do you want
reconstructive care to improve the spine as much
as possible and stabilize it? Or do you want to
improve your spine and health as much as possible?
This is in order to PREVENT problems from happening
in the future.
We will also ask if you want help with your diet,
vitamin and exercise programs. Once we know what
your needs are we can then proceed to the next
step.
Examination
During the examination the Doctor will assess not
only the causes of your complaints, but the condition
of your spine and health in general. My intention
is to treat your body as a whole, not just as a
symptom. During this process we often discover underlying
problems that have not yet shown up as symptoms.
Some of the test may be familiar to you such
as checking your reflexes and ranges of motion.
Other tests are specific to Chiropractic.
X-ray
Our x-ray equipment is designed to keep your exposure
to a minimum. We never x-ray more than the minimum
necessary to evaluate your condition. Many
Chiropractors do not use x-rays. However, I prefer
to use x-rays as a diagnostic tool during trauma
cases, such as auto accidents or when red flags are discovered during
the examination process.
X-rays are a useful diagnostic tool to accurately
diagnose and speed recovery time allowing for
a more favorable outcome with treatment. Since
we use a very specific technique known as the
Diversified technique it is very important to
have this information so that we give you the
best results. Many times we will find a problem
that the patient was not even aware of.
Please remember to see is to know, while not
to see is to guess. We will not guess about your
health.
Report of Findings
Once we develop and do an analysis of your x-rays
we will review all of the information regarding
your case. We will then determine the best treatment
plan to match your health care goals. We
will then go over your x-rays and exam findings
in detail to explain the CAUSE of your problem.
We will also review your health in general and
the current condition of your entire spine. We
will then discuss the steps necessary to correct
your condition and reach your health care goals.
We will explain to you the proposed treatment
schedule and explain the reasons behind our approach
to treating your condition. We will also discuss
your other health care goals and show you how
we can help you achieve them.
Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustment is the method with which
we realign the vertebra of the spine, thereby relieving
the pressure on the nervous system and begin restoring
normal nerve function. I adjust almost all of our
new patients on their first visit allowing the healing
process to begin immediately. In many years of experience I have treated thousands of
patients of all ages and conditions. I have literally
given millions of adjustments over the years.
With this amount of experience I am confident
that I will strive to provide you and your family
with the best Chiropractic care available.
The adjustment is what counts and I have the
experience to get you the results that you are
looking for. |
