What do I do
that is different?
in this office, we
incorporate primarily upper cervical specific and low
force Activator Techniques.
Atlas Orthogonality
is my
speciality of choice, and I am Board Certified in USA.
You can read more about that on my dedicated site.
• I address your problem, face to face, with attention to
you at that time. That is why our forms are so extensive
when you first come in, so be prepared for a lot of
questions. Allow about an hour for first visit. Then all
other visits may be as quick as 10 minutes, depending on
need.
• You can ask as many questions as you need
• I address your problem, but will look at your spine,
eventually.
• If there are other issues to sort out, I may not even
examine you; appropriate referral will be made.
• I may not treat the area of pain exclusively. All areas
of the body are connected, and if connected to your spine,
I may only treat around the spine for the first few visits.
• I do NOT x ray everybody. I x ray those who need it.
There is a big difference, so don't expect to be treated
like a production line patient. There is nothing quick
about the first visit.
• If you need an x ray expect to have it in my office, or
if sufficient a medicare off-site facility will be used. If
your problem is related to upper cervical dysfunction,
expect an x ray on-site, which is NOT covered by medicare.
It may be covered by private insurance, though.
• I do not manipulate the spine, with forceful procedures,
so its one of the lowest risk health care procedures in the
world. See a child being adjuste here
• The treatment - "adjustment"- may feel like nothing was
done, it is so gentle
• If there is no improvement in the time I designate, you
will be referred appropriately
• benefits are forthcoming in 80% of patients within 6
visits
• Some problems take months to actually correct and/or
prevent. This will be discussed based on whether the
problem is chronic or acute
• Finally, the best chiropractic care you will ever get is
when you are out of pain, doing prevention, maintenance of
health and attempting to stay well
• To stay well, you may need to see the chiropractor from
monthly to annually, depending upon the individual person.
• On the first visit you will recieve my personal mobile
phone number in order to keep in touch, should questions
arise
