X-rays and other types of images can be helpful. Pictures of your spine, especially after trauma, can confirm our other findings and make your care more precise. We can tell if we need them after completing our other examinations.

Some patients experience almost instant relief. Others discover that the healing process can take months, sometimes years. Every patient recovers at their own pace. Factors which can affect the healing process include your age, your overall health condition, muscle tone, diet and even your attitude.

It depends upon your complaint and how long it may take to study your examination findings. This is a clinical decision and varies from patient to patient, but usually you can receive your first adjustment on the first visit.

To determine if chiropractic care is right for a new patient, we perform a physical exam as well as x-rays (if they are necessary) to pin-point problem areas. Birth trauma, growth deficiencies, sports, accidents, falls, and even daily stress on the body can cause misalignment which manifests itself in many different ways. Chiropractic care can treat not only your little aches and pains but also: major injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff syndrome, disc problems, sciatica, fibromyalgia, headaches, neck pain, scoliosis, whiplash, sprains/stains/tendinitis, and many other conditions.

Many years ago some chiropractic techniques were somewhat uncomfortable. The combination of modern advancements in treatment approach and therapy has made the experience comfortable for the majority of patients. Occasionally patients will experience discomfort not unlike post-workout soreness as we try to recondition the body system.

Chiropractic has an excellent record for safety and has been deemed one of the least invasive and most conservative of the health care professions. Complications from spinal adjustments are very uncommon.

After an initial exam and review of possible x-rays, the doctor will determine what treatment plan will be most effective for your condition. Generally, we begin with a corrective period of care which is the most intensive period during which the goal is to correct misalignment’s and free the patient from pain. The next period of visits is less intensive and is intended to retrain the body and restore proper function to the spine and nervous system. The third period of care helps the body to maintain its new and proper alignment. Although at this point the treatment plan may be at its end, monthly visits may be suggested in order to help maintain proper alignment and lessen the risk of injury for a lifetime of continued health. Some patients choose to only visit a Chiropractor when they are injured or in pain.
