Initial Consultation 

Your first meeting with our chiropractor will be an initial consultation. During this meeting, you will have the chance to share with our chiropractor the details of your accident. If you have already received some treatment for your injuries, you will also want to share this information at this time. You should inform our team of any medication you are currently on as well.

Diagnostic Testing

Following the initial consultation, you will undergo diagnostic testing. These tests will help our team pinpoint the exact location and nature of your injury. Diagnostics are often composed of a physical examination and x-rays.

Treatment Plan

Once all of this information has been gathered, our doctor will be able to develop a treatment plan customized to your particular needs. All treatment plans are created with your unique needs and medical history in mind. All treatment plans take a holistic approach to health and healing. This means that our treatments will never cause pain or sickness in any other part or system of your body.

Treatments can include spinal adjustment, spinal decompression, massage therapy, hot/cold therapy, and cold laser therapy. Our chiropractor will discuss with you which of these treatments may be used as well as other treatments that may be available.
