Your first visit will include getting to know you, your health history, and identifying the reasons for your visit (Diagnosis). When we meet, we'll talk anywhere from 5-25 minutes depending upon your questions and the complexity of your conditions. After this, your treatment will follow. If we find any areas of discomfort or joint restriction, stretching and soft tissue work will be given with a chiropractic adjustment (Treatment).
Adjustments vary from person to person, generally the more painful the condition, the more gentle the treatment. After the adjustment, the area involved may be treated with ice, heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound or specific soft tissue work. The treatment should be comfortable and, of course beneficial- you're going to be thrilled with the results.

If you are not exercising, stretching, drinking enough water and getting periodic adjustments, your "discs, " or shock absorbers between your vertebra, can dehydrate and even change shape, leading not only to a loss of height, but also limited range of motion in your spine and other joints. Over time this becomes Arthritis, or Degenerative Joint Disease.
