The New Patient

Welcome to our Chiropractic office. We respect your courage in reaching out and seeking help from a profession that may be unfamiliar to you. You may have spent large sums of money on various and often painful tests. As a result, you may have learned the name that doctors have given to your problem, but the cause of the problem may not yet have been found.

Chiropractic a Different Approach

What can this doctor do for me?" is the question most often asked. The reception room of the Doctor of Chiropractic seems to be quite similar to the offices of other doctors; but Chiropractors take a different approach to illness.

The Doctor of Chiropractic may use some instruments for analysis that are familiar to you, and some that are different. You may be asked questions about falls and injuries, which you may not have considered important. You will notice that the Chiropractor is very interested in every detail of your condition and will always take time to give complete attention to your problem.

The Doctor of Chiropractic knows that even though two patients have the same disorder, they may not necessarily progress in the same manner. Each patient is studied and analyzed individually.

Getting to the Cause of Your Problem


A simplified representation of the altered biomechanical aspects of a subluxation

Regardless of where your pain may be, your Chiropractor will probably examine your spine thoroughly to discover if a Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC, also called a subluxation) is present and adversely affecting nerves that lead to ., the source of pain. A surprising number of health problems originate in the spine and the nerves that send messages to and from the spinal cord. You may have one or more subluxations. Subluxations may produce interference with normal nerve functions and may cause other physical discomforts. Chiropractors discover subluxations and the interference they may be causing through careful examination of the spine. A simplified way to try and understand a subluxation
is to imagine a misaligned vertebra producing irritation and/or pressure on nerves, disks and other adjacent tissues.
