Your Chiropractor’s Philosophy of Care

Diagnosis is the key element of any therapeutic outcome. Our goal is to accurately diagnose, consult, and correct the complaints, injuries or pathology of the individual patient.  Examination, chiropractic manipulative therapy, flexion distraction, motor nerve stim, ultrasound, and low level light/laser therapy are just a few of the modalities employed too accomplish this task.  Referral and co-management with other disciplines is always discussed and implemented per individual cases.  Imaging/x-ray/MRI is never a prerequisite of treatment, and will be determined by patient history and examination.
