WHAT TO EXPECT
We want you to feel comfortable with the decision of joining our practice. Please read the information below. If you have any questions, please call our office for an answer.
New Patient Intake Forms
If necessary, new patient intake forms may be needed so it is suggested to arrive 5-10 minutes prior to your 1st appointment scheduled time.
Consultation with the Chiropractor
You will have a direct one-on-one consultation with the doctor to discuss your health concerns and the reason for your visit, along with any prior medical history.
Examination
At the conclusion of the initial health consultation, we will perform a complete and comprehensive neurological, orthopedic and chiropractic exam.
X-Rays
A series of X-rays may be needed to allow us to clearly determine a proper care plan. X-rays provide us with an objective diagnostic tool that will show us the position of the spinal bones, as well as the quality of the spine and safety of adjusting it. We also use X-rays to determine how long a spinal condition has been developing.
Report of Findings
The Doctor's report of findings will be scheduled after your Initial Visit. This will allow for your doctor to study your exam findings, along with your X-ray information at which point we will share the results that we found with you. You may invite anyone in your family to accompany you, if you choose. Your report of findings includes a detailed analysis of what you need in order to solve the problem that brought you into our office and what can be done in order to assure that it won't happen again. We consider your current lifestyle choices, goals for the future and challenges that are standing in your way. This is why our recommendations are extremely comprehensive and have the chance to be the solution that you have been seeking to find.
Ongoing
We strive to keep waiting times to a minimum, so we ask that all patients be prompt for their appointments so we can stay on track. Your adjustments will be given by the doctor, then anything else done during that visit will depend on the doctor's recommendations. Traction, Stretching, exercise instruction, or other advice, may be as part of the doctor's plan for you. Questions are encouraged! We want you full of knowledge!
We consistently update and customize your wellness programs. The foundation for our overall health is based on proper spinal alignment, nutritious foods, regular exercise, high quality supplementation and a variety of stress relief techniques for the whole family.
Most of our clients decide to stay on for Wellness care once their pain or symptoms have subsided because we feel the benefit of our care is exponential once you are nearing a state of health! That is why we have experienced wonderful results in the Sports, Pediatric and Prenatal community.

Chiropractic care may be considered as a complementary approach to help with sinus issues, particularly those related to musculoskeletal factors and nervous system function. While chiropractic care cannot directly treat sinus infections or allergies, it aims to promote overall well-being and may have indirect effects on sinus health. Here's how chiropractic care can potentially help with sinus issues:
1: Spinal adjustments: Chiropractors use spinal adjustments or manipulations to realign the vertebrae in the spine. Some proponents of chiropractic care believe that misalignments in the upper spine, particularly the cervical (neck) region, can interfere with nerve function and lymphatic drainage, potentially affecting sinus health. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments may help improve nervous system function, which, in turn, may have positive effects on sinus health.
2: Lymphatic drainage: Chiropractic techniques may aim to promote lymphatic drainage, which is crucial for removing waste products and toxins from the body, including the sinuses. By enhancing lymphatic flow, chiropractors may support the body's natural ability to clear sinus congestion and reduce inflammation.
3: Posture improvement: Poor posture can contribute to tension and tightness in the neck and shoulder muscles, potentially affecting sinus health. Chiropractors can offer guidance on maintaining proper posture, which may help reduce tension in these areas and promote better sinus drainage.
4: Stress reduction: Chiropractic care can be beneficial for managing stress, which can impact the immune system and exacerbate sinus issues. By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, chiropractic care may indirectly support the body's ability to cope with sinus-related problems.
