Although chiropractic care is unlikely to produce miracles, we do see exceptional outcomes from patients who follow our protocols. Most patients visit us for a short series of treatment ending with a tailored plan to prevent recurrence or flare ups.
A FIRST VISIT MAY INCLUDE:
INTAKE
- Our staff greets you with a warm and professional welcome
- We make a copy of your driver's license and insurance card(s) {if applicable}.

CONSULTATION
- It is always free of charge
- We provide detailed information regarding chiropractic coverage according to your insurance policy
- Our chiropractic physicians will discuss your condition, concerns, expectations and goals for care.
EXAMINATION
- It is only performed with your consent; our spine care experts perform high-quality physical, orthopedic and neurological exams.
- Exam procedures check for what is working, what is not, and if we can determine different structures or tissues involved in the problem.
- Exam procedures also rule out cases that may not be appropriate for us to treat.
DIAGNOSTICS

- Digital radiographs alert our physicians of any serious or dangerous spinal conditions
- We also refer patients for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), CT scans or other imaging modalities when necessary
