Regular Visits
A Typical Practice Visit
After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many practice members become concerned that every visit will be of equal length.
In a word: no. A typical practice visit may require just five to 10 minutes.
If the following are recommended for you, this is the time amount for them:
- Acupuncture would be 30 minutes
- Exercise/ Physical therapy is usually just 15 minutes
- Massage therapy can be 30-60 minutes.
Every visit we quickly size up the condition of your spine and nervous system, adjust you if indicated and get you on your way. If an adjustment is not needed, we then switch to exercises, stretches or lifestyle education to keep you that way!
Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds on the ones before. Miss a visit and you can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes.
Chiropractic Re-exam
Somewhere between 6 and 12 visits, we will do a re-exam to document that all your original problems are getting better. If not, the reassessment will allow us to change your recommended care to something that will help you reach your goals in a timely manner. Occasionally this may require care by someone outside our office. We constantly update our referral network to include the best labs and other doctors we can find.
Releasing You From Active Care
If you have two visits in a row that show you have met all your goals, then we immediately decreased the frequency of your visits and when you are still feeling great after one month between visits, then you are done with 'active' care and final recommendations are made, like return at the first sign of a relapse or come back for check-ups twice a year, take a multivitamin, etc.
