Our Care

What happens during my visit?

The first visit usually lasts about 45 minutes to one hour. Dr. Michael will go through a thorough consultation to find out the origin and root of your problems.  Next, during your exam, he will test the extent of your spinal mobility; focusing on range of motion, static palpation, pain & tenderness, and joint/muscle swelling. Dr. Michael  may also perform various diagnostic, orthopedic, static, and muscle tests as well as x-rays when indicated, to rule in and rule out other possible conditions. When it is appropriate for care to begin, (either the first or second visit depending upon the complexity of your condition) he will inform you on the type of chiropractic techniques to be used regarding the adjustments your body needs.

Although the high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust (Diversified Technique) is the most common technique, Dr. Michael may use other treatments, including Activator, Thompson, or other Advanced Bio-structural corrective techniques depending upon your requirements as a patient. 95% of the time Dr Michael’s patients usually report a dramatic reduction in pain within the first few  visits, however, depending on your condition it may take longer and you may experience some minor aches, stiffness, or tiredness for a day or so after your first adjustment as your body responds to the new alignment and starts the healing process. (Again this is dependant upon the complexity of the degeneration occuring).

What is a report of Findings?

Once Dr. Michael has thoroughly gone over your case presentation; he will then let you know what is needed for you to get healthy as quickly and safely as possible. Usually on your second visit, you will have your report of findings. This is a scheduled time when you will find out exactly what is going on, and be able to ask any questions you might have from your first visit.

How long does it take?

This is dependant on the type of problem and how long it has been there. Because you are uniquely different so might your problem. There is no cookbook on health. However, during your report of findings, Dr. Michael can prepare a written report that will give you an approximate schedule of care needed if you wish.
