Your first visit will consist of a consultation with the doctor to review your past history,
assess your current state of health and discuss your future health goals.
First, a detailed examination of your spine and nervous system will be done to detect
whether or not subluxations (misalignments) are present in your spine that may be causing
your symptoms and interfering with your body's ability to express optimal health.
Next, your spine will be analyzed for movement restrictions at each segment using the piezoelectric sensors in the ProAdjuster System. A thorough, visible chart will be produced to show exactly where your points of dysfunction are.
If necessary, x-rays will be taken to determine the structural integrity of your spine
and aid us in developing an individualized plan to meet your goals. Results are compiled and
will be reviewed with you in detail the following day.
Finally, x-rays will be taken if your condition indicates it is necessary to determine the structural integrity of your spine and provide the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
After your examination is complete and the doctor has determined the cause of your problem, she will provide you with a comprehensive report of findings, your best treatment options and gladly address any questions or concerns you may have. If you choose to begin care, the first adjustment will commence, and you're on your way to better health!

Home Care Instructions:
To care for yourself at home -- Ice is your best friend! Heat is NOT!
Any sore muscles should be rested and iced. Ice the area with a icepack, bag of frozen peas or any similar version. Surround it with a light layer of toweling. Keep the ice on for 10-15 minutes. Rest for 30 minutes and then re-ice. Repeat several times throughout the day.
***Safety note: Remove ice immediately if you feel a burning sensation after the numbness***
Drink water! H20 flushes toxins out of your body and helps you get rid of painful inflammation. Grab enough purified water to maintain you all day. Minimum of 8 oz's 8 times per day on a standard basis, but for inflammation and pain, increase that to as much as half your body weight in ounces, but do not exceed 100 ounces in 24 hours.
Ginger and Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids are both natural anti-inflammatories. Check with your doctor and a local nutrition store for reliable sources and quantities of both. Including these in your regular dietary curriculum is a wise idea to reduce your risk of pain and inflammation.
