WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR CHIROPRACTIC VISIT

The consultation is the step in which you get to share information about yourself with the Doctor.  The Doctor will review your medical history as well as ask you additional questions about your lifestyle, health and wellness goals. 

The Doctor will perform an examination of your musculoskeletal system.  The findings from the examatinon as well as the presenting symptoms, medical history and consultation will guide the Doctor to administer the appropriate treatment plan.  The treatment plan will be discussed in full detail following the completion of the examination.

Your Report of Findings will be discussed following your examination. 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. 

Doctors of Chiropractic perform a gentle and non-invasive adjustment.  Chiropractic adjustments reduce joint restrictions or misalignments also known as subluxations.  The chiropractic adjustment works to reduce inflammation and improve function of the joint and nervous system.  

Subluxation is a motion segment in which the spine's alignment, movement or physiologic function is altered although contact between joint surfaces remains intact (*McGraw-Hill Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine 2002).

Therapy focuses on soft tissues and muscles related to the site of injury or symptoms.  

Bones Connect to Muscles and Muscles Connect to Bones.

Muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues can be affected when our bodies undergo repetitive stress or trauma.  The symptoms result in pain, restricted range of motion, weakness, numbness and tingling.  Therapy and myofascial release work to increase strength, improve range of motion, increase function and reducing pain. Patients returning to Activities of Daily Living and improving their quality of life is a main goal at Le Chiropractic.
