People think going to a Chiropractor is just getting “cracked”. Here is what to expect from a Chiropractic visit to our office:
• Will evaluate any musculoskeletal condition and determine whether it is something that can be treated at our office or needs to be referred to another medical professional for further evaluation. We make the appropriate referral as needed, kinda acting like the quarterback (had to include a sports analogy😊) We work with a great team of medical professionals!
• Refer for any imaging if needed
• Once it is determined we can help, will explain and treat as appropriate, offering some of the following but NOT always the same:
• Chiropractic adjustments - we do not ALWAYS adjust, and there are many different techniques if we feel it is needed
• Various physical therapy modalities, including but not limited to heat, ice, muscle stimulation, ultrasound
• Various soft tissue techniques including muscle release techniques (myofascial release), GRASTON (instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization), etc.
• Exercises both in office and for home – patients need to be able to do things for themselves daily
• Dry Needling - All of our doctors are certified
• Discuss other home recommendations, nutritional support
Many people don’t realize we do ALL of these things in our office, so wanted to make sure everyone is aware. Most chiropractors do many of these as well. There are still times when I see and hear that people think all we do is “crack bones”, especially with wonderful world of social media and tiktok videos.
Have a great Wednesday.
