It can be difficult for patients to find a new chiropractor. There are a
variety of approaches and techniques that are use within the profession that
can lead to drastically different experiences from office to office.
With this in mind, We want to give potential patients some information on
what they can expect from our office. We would encourage every patient to
understand the chiropractic approach of any office that they might be
considering and see if it fits with their view on health care.
There are two key words that can best describe our approach to a patients
care.
Balance and Function.
Balance is simply looking at the stress/demand/load that we put on any area
of the body and compare it to the bodies ability to accommodate that demand.
If we overload an area, it will lead to break down and dysfunction.
Function is simply understanding body movement. Understanding how the body
is suppose to move, being able to determine when and where the body is not
moving properly, and working with the patient to help restore proper
movement.
We can overload any part of the body, and one of the reasons I tell patients
if you can see it, touch it or move it - we can assess it.
We see a variety of overload injuries in our office, and rarely is one
exactly the same as another. This is one key reason for patients to get
their injuries assessed individually. There are a variety of reasons for
"back pain", and just because you and a friend have "back pain" in the same
area - doesn't make them the same. Treatment is based on a specific
diagnosis, which is only done after a thorough history and examination.
Move Better, Feel Better, Live Better.
