All new patients are requested to fill out a personal health history form. A one-on-one consultation with the doctor will be done to discuss your health problems and to determine what may be the cause. A comprehensive examination and evaluation including those tests necessary to determine the precise cause of your problem is given. The doctor will advise you if additional laboratory tests or x-rays are needed. You will be given a Report of Findings at which time the cause of your problem will be discussed. It includes a thorough explanation of our treatment recommendations and what results can be obtained. You will also be advised concerning how our office procedures work. If you are accepted as a patient, care will begin. Additional explanations will be given on the different types of treatments that are available in the office. An estimate of future care will be given and upon your acceptance, care will continue until the personal maximum correction of your problem has been obtained. After maximum correction has been obtained, a schedule of care will be recommended to help prevent future problems and maintain good health.

When one or more vertebrae lose their normal position, they interfere with the nerves they were meant to protect. This interference can cause pressure or irritation on the spinal cord and/or on the nerve roots as they pass out of the spinal column. This misalignment of the vertebrae and pinching of the nerves is called a subluxation and is the most common aspect of what doctors call the vertebral subluxation complex.
