Purpose

The purpose of our office is to support a transformation in the health of humanity by helping as many people as possible to regain, achieve and maintain their optimal health, naturally, via chiropractic care, and to educate them so that they can, in turn, go out and educate others as to who we are and what we represent.

Chiropractic is the Art, Philosophy, and Science of all things natural.

Welcome To Our Office!

We’re glad you have chosen chiropractic as your choice of health care. We hope your chiropractic experience is a positive one.

On the initial visit you will be asked to fill out all of the necessary forms. You will then receive a complete consultation and examination. You may require X-rays which will be performed here at our office.

At this point we will determine if your condition is related to chiropractic. In some cases treatment will not begin until the following day so we can evaluate your condition fully.

You will be asked to return for a report of your X-rays. We strongly recommend that your spouse and/or family member attends the report with you, so you don’t miss any of the important facts.

It is at this time you will receive your first chiropractic adjustment. It is at this time the healing process begins.

Welcome to the World of Health through Chiropractic!

What to expect and things to know about Chiropractic Care

Don’t expect too much too soon

To make an actual lasting structural and mechanical change takes time. Your entire spine must adapt and compensate for the movement created by a spinal adjustment. In some cases, patients may experience some minor discomfort. This is due to the movement created in the spinal joints by the adjustment where there has been relatively little movement for some time.

Communicating with the Doctor

It is not necessary to go over your symptoms on every visit, as your symptoms are not necessarily an example of how your condition is progressing. If you do experience a flare-up or something drastically different, then please tell the doctor, and we will make the appropriate changes. Remember that when the symptoms disappear, you have only taken the first step toward regaining your health. Follow through and achieve correction of your spinal condition for maximum benefit and optimal health.

If you have a preference of which doctor cares for you, please don’t hesitate to let us know!

What happens when you receive an adjustment?

Don’t be fooled by the notion that vertebrae just “pop in” or “pop out” of place. The purpose of a correction program is to make the structural changes necessary to reduce the subluxation complex and nerve irritation, strengthen spinal weaknesses and imbalances and reverse any reversible damage or degeneration that has occurred.

When you receive an adjustment, there is normally a feeling of movement in the joints of your spine. You may also hear a “click”. The clicking comes from separation of the joint surfaces, and this separation causes a bubble to be formed in the joint fluid. When the tension on the bubble reaches a certain point, the bubble will pop, producing the sound you hear. This is the same principle as a glass lifted off the surface of a wet table top. Rest assured that nothing is being ground or cracked; in actuality it is the opposite, or the separation of the joints, causing the popping phenomenon. As you have been instructed following your first adjustment, please use the correct terminology -- “chiropractic adjustment” (never “popping”, “cracking”, etc.)

Scheduling Appointments

The policy of this office is that you make a multiple-appointment schedule for your recommended period of care. Your office visits and comparative examinations are scheduled in advance so you will not have to make a new appointment after each visit. Experience shows us that multiple appointments provide the regularity of adjustments essential to your progress.

Following Recommendations

You must understand and agree that your health is your responsibility. By your choosing corrective care, it shows us that you are truly interested in your health, and we will do everything in our power to help you achieve optimal health. Be sure to follow recommendations of treatment frequency and utilize the vital information you learn at the New Patient Orientation. If at any time you do not understand any aspect of your care, don’t hesitate to ask us.

Referring Others for Chiropractic Care

Literally millions of people are suffering needlessly from conditions that can be helped with chiropractic care. The challenge we face is that these people do not know that chiropractic even exists. Part of what you will receive at this office is an education and new perspective on what health really is and how chiropractic relates to it. We ask that you share this knowledge with others so they may also receive the tremendous benefits of chiropractic and live longer, healthier, happier lives. We are never too busy to discuss a health problem of a relative or friend. You may do one of three things to refer another patient to this office for care:

• Make an appointment for an examination to determine if the problem may be helped with chiropractic care.
• Reserve seating for them at the next available New Patient Orientation so they may learn about chiropractic first and then make their own decision regarding treatment.
• Give the phone number of the person to the doctor so we may call them personally and discuss their concerns privately on the phone.

Missed Appointments

All efforts must be taken to make every appointment, as missed appointments may delay your progress. Consistency of your adjustments is the key to maximum benefit and correction. If you miss an appointment, call to make it up as soon as possible. If you are 15 minutes late for your appointment, we will phone you in order to reschedule your visit. We can’t help you if you are not here!

New Patient Orientation

Without truly understanding chiropractic and exactly what it is we are doing for you, you cannot receive maximum benefit from the health care you receive at this office. Therefore, it is our responsibility and obligation to give you the vital information you need in order for you to get well as quickly as possible. It is our policy that you attend a New Patient Orientation. The purpose of this class is to teach you about the principles of health and chiropractic. Common do’s and don’ts will also be discussed to facilitate the fastest progress toward spinal correction and health. Spouse attendance is required so they can help and learn the instructions for home care. A New Patient Orientation is held every Monday at 6:00 p.m. following orientation you will be shown your X-rays.

Prevention and Spinal Screening Program

Preventative health care is the most logical, rational and effective form of health care. It is truly the health care of the future. Every member of your family should be on a program of periodic check ups for spinal and nerve system health.

Most spinal problems begin in infancy and advance with time. Only later when progressive mechanical changes have occurred, producing malfunction in the nervous system, do actual “symptoms” appear. Therefore, similar to periodic dental examinations, chiropractic spinal examinations are an absolute must from infancy on.

Creating Wellness

We are one of approximately 300 Creating Wellness Centers throughout North America. As a Creating Wellness partner we can now offer our patients a truly integrated wellness program that focuses on a simple philosophy – Be Fit (exercise), Eat Right (nutrition) and Think Well (wellness lifestyle).

Unique to Creating Wellness is the Wellness Quotient (WQ) – One NUMBER that indicates where your personal level of wellness falls on the scale of the wellness continuum.

The WQ-Wellness Quotient is calculated by the results of a Wellness Assessment merged, in our unique software, with a personal questionnaire, that measures your physical fitness, your eating habits, and how well you deal with stress.

Most importantly it is my responsibility as your chiropractor to know your WQ, and thereby, the stresses that negatively impact your nerve system, so we can correctly address them and help you live subluxation free.

You will be scheduled to find out your WQ after four to six weeks of your chiropractic care.
