After signing in, the chiropractor will have you fill out paperwork and answer questions about your health history. The doctor will take a look at you to see if there are any injuries or misalignments that can be corrected with spinal manipulation. After this examination, the chiropractor may use other techniques like therapeutic exercise and stretching, as well as soft tissue therapy to help relieve your pain.
If you have been living with chronic pain, we may suggest that you come in more frequently until symptoms are gone.
A minor injury may require frequent visits for a few weeks, that taper out as your injury heals.
If you suffer from acute back pain, the doctor may suggest coming in for adjustments as needed to help relieve your symptoms and get off of medication quickly.
The chiropractor will provide a treatment plan based on what’s going on with you and how long it may take to see results.
Many times chiropractic care is used for other reasons aside from back and neck injuries. It can increase mobility, prepare a pregnant woman's body for an easier labor, be used to prevent injury, treat osteoporosis, treat fibromyalgia, improve immune system's ability to fight off disease and more.
We hope that you will see chiropractic as a natural complement to your healthcare and wellness. Used in combination with a healthy lifestyle it can improve your quality of life!
