Regular Visits

After investing the time we need for the first visit, some patients are concerned that every visit will be that long.

Support your progress with regular visits.In a word: no. A typical office visit may require just 10 - 15 minutes.

But don稚 think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, we can quickly size up the condition of your spine and nervous system, adjust you and get you on your way.

Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds on the ones before. If you miss visits you may lose momentum necessary to make the needed changes. As we retrain your muscles and nerves, your spine stabilizes, becoming stronger and lessening the possibility of relapse. We can then more safely extend the time between visits.

We recognize your time is valuable. And we do everything possible to run on time, and minimize the impact on your busy life. Arriving a few minutes early for your appointment helps us do that, and lets you relax for a few moments before your treatment.

A Word About Your Care

I strive to know your body and its chiropractic needs. With a hands-on approach, I examine your spine, your joints, your structure, and feel your bones, muscles and tendons. You will be fully clothed. I notice the way your body moves, and where you hold areas of tension. I explore the fine nuances of alignment and pliability, evaluating your strength and balance. I identify areas of healthy function as well as finding spots that need assistance. Sometimes I値l ask you to engage your muscles and work, and sometimes I値l want you to let go. As I guide your body into a better alignment and balance, you値l notice sometimes a stronger hand, and sometimes you値l feel a more subtle touch that is very focused. I am professional in my work, experienced with my hands, and respectful of your body. I appreciate your trust and your commitment to your health.

Extended Wellness Sessions for Established Patients

Perhaps you are an established practice member who, over time, has already experienced the value of our work together. Maybe you would occasionally like to explore some aspect of your health in greater depth. For those who want a longer session where we can go even more deeply into our work, I offer a limited number of extended office visits.

We値l schedule about 25 to 30 minutes for extended sessions. Sound interesting? Please ask!
