1. Private Consultation and History

First we need to find out if chiropractic care is appropriate for you.  After some in-depth questions, we will either suggest a chiropractic exam or refer you to another health care professional who can better help you.
 

2. Detailed Chiropractic Examination

The examination gives us a clearer picture of how your body is functioning.  It involves specific posture and range of motion analysis.  In addition, and if necessary  we will perform more specific tests and take x-rays.

3. Report of Findings

After we look at the findings from all of the previous steps, you will return to the office so we can go over our findings with you.  During the report, we will talk about what we found, how we an help, how long it will take, and an estimate of how much it will cost.

4. Relief Care or Corrective Care

We understand that every person travels a different path on their way to wellness.  That's why we offer different choices for care.  Corrective care is the best choice for long-lasting  benefits; it gets to the root of the problem.  Relief care helps to relieve symptoms and improve normal joint motion.
