Dr. Palmes will go through a thorough consultation to learn more about your health history and see if you are a good fit for the office. Dr. Palmes will assess the integrity of your spine and nervous system. This will help determine if you are a candidate for care and see if your symptoms can be corrected through chiropractic care.
During the evaluation, Dr. Palmes will test to see how efficiently your nervous system is working. This can help explain why there is a breakdown in your body's performance thus causing pain. Nobody is ever stuck in one position all day long, we go through our days in motion. If warranted, these x-rays will visually show how the spine is related to one's health problems.

If you are experiencing pain your Chiropractor will evaluate your current conditions and treat them accordingly. Once you are better, your Chiropractor will help you maintain your own health by keeping your body working as it should and offering exercise and life style recommendations for you to follow on an ongoing basis.
Back pain is one of the top reasons driving people to seek medical help; statistics show that at least 8 out of 10 people will encounter back pain at some point in life. Although many people lean on painkillers, these drugs can only mask the pain temporarily. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, resolves the underlying reasons for your back pain.
Neck pain is incredibly common because this part of your spine is the most vulnerable and flexible part of it. And a problem in your neck can translate into all kinds of other health concerns if not treated properly. Everything from headaches to arthritis can start with misaligned neck vertebrae!

The most common neck injury is whiplash; an injury that happens anytime the head suddenly snaps back and forth.

Headaches and migraines are common, but they are not natural. They can be so debilitating that they rob sufferers of entire days of normal life activities. While reaching for painkillers seems to be the most common remedy, they only cover up the pain for a short time without resolving the reason behind the pain.
Your shoulder joint is a hard-working joint with the widest range of movement in your body. The reasons behind shoulder pain can be complicated; it's connected by muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves to the chest, upper back, and upper arm. You use it every day for so many things, that when you have a shoulder injury, it stops you from sleeping, working out, carrying groceries and everything else.

I came to Dr. Palmes office for a checkup and to help me with my left knee, I was just concern and did not know why my knee was unresponsive a couple of times during the year. I was surprised. The importance of having a good and accurate evaluation. In my very 1st visit Dr. Palmes reminded me the reasons why I had all this pains in my body. For a moment I was just realizing that I had neglected my body for a long time. I was pushing heavy commercial lamps at work, and I felt a pinch in my left side in the lower back. I had this lower back pain since 2013, since the pain was tolerable and not as

I am in town for a month and a week, and my lower back got a huge amount of pain every time I stood up from sitting down. I was screaming!!
Three visits in three days cured me, plus his advice to stop heating my back and use cold to reduce inflammation. I'm here for the fourth and final visit. I really don't need it, but since I'll be driving 8 hours tomorrow I'll just be safe.
The only thing I don't like is that I can't pack him in the car and take him with me!
Thank you, thank you!!

My husband has been suffering with Meniere's Disease to the point he was unable to work at times. We found Dr. Palmes and decided to give chiropractic adjustments a try. My husband had never seen a chiropractor and we were both uncertain that this was going to help. I am here to tell you there were days I had to help my husband into his office he was spinning so badly. Walked in spinning, walked out feeling great!! Wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it myself. My husband goes 3 times a week. The treatment plan is 10 weeks and we are hopeful that his neck alignment will keep this

I've been seeing Dr. Palmes consistently for around 4 years, and it is well worth the investment of time and money!
It started out more frequent, at 2-3x/week, as I was in pain and had years worth of issues to unwind and rehab. Over time my frequency of visits decreased and now I visit once per month for a little tune-up. It's a wonderful gift of self care and helps me to maintain my health and remain pain free.
I appreciate Dr. Palmes kindness, care, expertise and professionalism, and would highly recommend his services if you are in pain, or just want to optimize your health.

Dr Palmes is great. He starts off your first visit going over what you feel your body's current condition is and what your goals are for the outcome of treatment. Very thorough and detailed in a way that is approachable and understandable.
In addition he will ask you get x-rays done so that you can visually compare your bones to an ideal example. Very helpful to know what right looks like and what treatment you should focus on.
The office is very clean and inviting. Dr Palmes is very accommodating with his time and flexible with you for schedule changes that occur that affect your appointments

Over my 66 years, I have been to a number of chiropractic doctors. I
haven't found one as competent as Dr. Palmes. When I first came to see him, my primary problem was chronic, progressive neck and shoulder pain. It prevented me from doing my daily chores and was on pain medication. My sister recommended Dr.Palmes and told me that after one treatment, I should feel the result. My sister was right, after my first adjustment I slept well, and was able to lift, do chores and definitely more energetic. I feel better than I have in years. Dr.Palmes is knowledgeable and truly works on your total health

Best Life has been a wonderful experience for me. Dr. Palmes checks in at each session and addresses any new issues as well as our ongoing adjustment projects. I love the combination of PT and spinal work! I can feel the improvement after just a couple of months and am confident that his approach to chiropractics will allow me to maintain results long-term.

I came in with neck and back pain, and now am pain free thanks to Dr. Palmes! He's professional, patient, efficient and nice. He is very responsive both over text and email to answer my questions and respond to my reschedule requests.
The office is nice and easy to find and there's ample parking. Overall I had a great experience and I'm glad that I found Dr. Palmes!

I went to Dr. Palmes because I was having mid to lower back and neck pain that was constantly giving me headaches almost every day. It's been a few months now, and I've only had about one headache since my first visit. My mid back pain is completely gone, and my lower back pain is almost non-existent now.
Dr. Palmes is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and very thorough with his practice and service. I feel that he really focuses on resolving the root of the problem rather than a quick band-aid fix. He is really easy to talk to and I can ask him about any issues that I'm experiencing.

I’m very grateful I finally listened to my peers and saw a chiropractor. I usually would go get massages but the headaches and soreness just never went away permanently.
Dr. Palmes has been great. He is a great listener and really analyzes your situation to find a real solution. I’m one-third through the program and have zero regrets. The headaches are gone and I’ve been sleeping well. I actually enjoy the neck cracking sounds.
