What do I do that is different?
in this office, we incorporate primarily upper cervical specific and low force Activator Techniques.
Atlas Orthogonality is my speciality of choice, and I am Board Certified in USA. You can read more about that on my dedicated site.

I address your problem, face to face, with attention to you at that time. That is why our forms are so extensive when you first come in, so be prepared for a lot of questions. Allow about an hour for first visit. Then all other visits may be as quick as 3 to 10 minutes, depending on need.

You can ask as many questions as you need

I address your problem, but will look at your spine, eventually. Especially the neck.

If there are other issues to sort out, I may not even examine you; appropriate referral will be made.

I may not treat the area of pain exclusively. All areas of the body are connected, and if connected to your spine, I may only treat around the spine for the first few visits.

I do NOT x ray everybody. I x ray those who need it. There is a big difference, so don't expect to be treated like a production line patient. There is nothing quick about the first visit. We strive for convenience though, especially on subsequent visits.

If you need an x ray expect to have it in my office, or if sufficient a medicare off-site facility will be used. If your problem is related to upper cervical dysfunction, expect an x ray on-site, which is NOT covered by medicare. It may be covered by private insurance, though.

I do not manipulate the spine, with forceful procedures, so its one of the lowest risk health care procedures in the world. See a child being adjuste here

The treatment - "adjustment"- may feel like nothing was done, it is so gentle

If there is no improvement in the time I designate, you will be referred appropriately

Benefits are forthcoming in 80% of patients within 6 visits

Some problems take months to actually correct and/or prevent. This will be discussed based on whether the problem is chronic or acute

Finally, the best chiropractic care you will ever get is when you are out of pain, doing prevention, maintenance of health and attempting to stay well

To stay well, you may need to see the chiropractor from monthly to annually, depending upon the individual person.

On the first visit you will recieve my personal mobile phone number in order to keep in touch, should questions arise
