Initial Patient Consultation and Examination Initial consult and exam includes:
Comprehensive history
Musculoskeletal assessment (MSK)
Neurological testing
Infrared thermography scan
Report of exam findings
On the initial visit the entire time will be dedicated to finding the source of your problem. We will not proceed with any further treatment on the first day. If there are additional tests necessary (x-ray, MRI, blood work, other physician or specialist referal, etc.) the doctor with make that determination and provide you a referral that day.
Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle and specific manipulation of joints which are fixated and out of their proper alignment.
Chiropractic adjustments include:
the full spine as indicated
extremities (examples: ankle, knee, shoulder)
other extraspinal (example: cranial bones, ribs)
Acupuncture The use of needles and/or electrical stimulation to balance the body's meridian system (energy channels of the body that carry chi along yin and yang meridians/channels). The use of acupuncture by our doctor is typically an additional modality to addressing other underlying dysfunctions and most often a part of a more comprehensive treatment plan. In our office, full body acupuncture treatments usually take about a half hour and include a guided imagery and meditation during the treatment.
