  4. What makes you different from all the other doctors?
  5. I don't have back pain. Do I need to see a chiropractor?

 

I don't want to be "cracked". Do you do that?

Please do not hesitate to discuss any concerns you have with our doctors! They are very versatile in the techniques used. Although we can adjust areas that will make that "cracking" or "popping" sound, a different and gentle technique can be used to make the patient feel more comfortable and relaxed while being adjusted.

Why is it necessary to keep seeing a chiropractor?

Many times after visiting our office you come out feeling great!  But let me give you a few examples of why you must see a chiropractor a few times before you should quit care. Chiropractic is just like the other doctors you see. Your dentist, for example, maybe have given you or someone you know braces. Therefore, you know that your dentist didn't just put them on your teeth and send you on your way. You scheduled many follow-up visits for tightening or even just for a check up. Now lets take your MD, for example. You may have seen him if you were sick or someone in your family was sick. He probably gave you a prescription and sent you on your way. Even though you didn't go back to his office for another visit, you took several treatments right there in your own home. The treatments just came in a form of a pill. Chiropractic is just like that but you come to the office to get your treatments.

How do I know when I can quit coming?

You should discuss this with your doctor at the time of your visits. Many things depend on how fast you may "recover" from the injury or the problems you've been having. Don't let the fact that you don't feel any more pain be your guide to quitting care. Always remember that pain is the LAST thing you feel when your body isn't functioning properly. As you may already know, Cancer victims often don't even know they had cancer until its too late because often times they are pain free.

What makes us different from all the other doctors

Our goal is to get people well and on their way to healthier living. By using chiropractic methods we can help restore the body's natural function versus taking some medications to cover up the pain.  Many medications are necessary and this is why we work closely with the MD's and other physicians in the area. We also specialize in short term care. Our office has encountered anything from very serious conditions, to car accidents, to workman's compensations, to more mild cases. Our average of getting people well and on their way is a low average of 12 - 15 visits. Our office also accepts patients of all ages. Our yougest patient is two months old to the oldest being 97. Gentle procedures are used in our office and we reinforce that chiropractic is not one size fits all. We see each person as an individual. You may say that you and your husband both have back pain but it may be caused by two different things. Different procedures will be applied to get the treatment necessary.

I don't have back pain. Do I still need to see a chiropractor?

Sure. Chiropractic is much more than just helping back pain. We've had patients come to our office with headaches, neck pain, rib pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel, interupted menstural cycles, asthma, allergies, stomach pain, and many more. As we edcuate the public, we show that although chiropractic specializes in back pain, you also have to realize that the spinal cord consists of nerve roots that branch off and control the other parts of the body. There is a nerve root that controls the stomach, another for each of the organs of the body, and right down to the tingling in the fingers or toes. By relieving pressure off the nerve it will no longer send sensations to the other parts of the body. A brief consultation with one of our doctors will explain this in greater detail regarding your own specific concerns.
