Our process
What You Can Expect
We use a clear process to understand the concern and discuss appropriate next steps.
Your evaluation
We discuss the location and behavior of symptoms, examine movement and neurologic signs when appropriate, and look for factors that may require referral or additional testing.
Personalized care options
Depending on your findings, care may include chiropractic treatment, mobility work, exercise, posture or activity guidance, and coordination with other healthcare professionals.
Individualized recommendations
Care Built Around the Individual
No single approach is automatically appropriate for every patient. We consider your health history, symptoms, examination findings, daily demands, and goals.
When another provider, additional testing, or a different service appears more appropriate, we explain that as well.
