My mission is to help children and adults maintain and restore their health by using chiropractic examination and specific gentle chiropractic adjustments.

Chiropractic adjustments correct subtle misalignments of spinal vertebra called subluxations. This helps restores structural balance, joint mobility, soft tissue tone and function, while removing interference to the nerve system function and maximizes the innate health potential.

On your first visit, a thorough health history will be taken. Attention will be given to the symptom or complaint that caused you to seek chiropractic care. There will also be care given to understanding your present lifestyle, job duties and areas of physical, chemical and emotional stress.

After your history has been recorded, I will explain to you basic information about your spine, chiropractic and the methods that are used to help clients in our office. With your permission we will then begin the examination which includes postural analysis, mobility assessment and chiropractic spinal examination in which I will use my hands to touch (palpate) the muscles and boney structures of the spine to determine the precise location of spinal misalignments called vertebral subluxations.

At this point I will explain the type of chiropractic adjustment that best suits your needs and we will begin the corrective spinal care. X-rays and other radiographic imaging such as MRI and CT scans are sometimes used to help diagnose spinal conditions. X-rays are not required in many instances, and x-rays are used only in a conservative fashion, to avoid unnecessary ionizing radiation.

After the chiropractic adjustment you will be advised on when to return to the office for follow up examination as indicated by your case history. Every new patient office visit takes a full 60 minutes and is never rushed.

Four Principles of Chiropractic:

1. The body has the ability to heal itself and adapt to it’s environment.

2. Your nervous system; the brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves, allow the brain to direct and control function in the body.

3. Misalignment of the spinal bones and the resulting pressure on the spinal cord, the discs and spinal nerve roots is called “vertebral subluxation”. This causes an inability for the nervous system to properly control function. A loss of function results in an inability to properly adapt to our environment.

4. Doctors of Chiropractic are trained in the detection and correction of vertebral subluxations for the restoration of healthy function.
