The First Upper Cervical Chiropractic Visit
Appointment Duration: 45 to 60 minutes
On the first visit, any and all necessary patient paperwork will be completed.
Patients are switched into bowling shoes during each visit. The shoes help our doctors provide an accurate and consistent assessment for both the leg length testing and functional pelvic distortion assessment.
The following assessments will be performed at the first appointment:
- A Detailed Consultation and Patient History
- Leg Length Evaluation
- Orthospinology Functional Pelvic Assessment
- Postural and range-of-motion analysis
- Orthopedic and Neurological testing
- Cranial Nerve Evaluation (if applicable)
- 3-D x-ray imaging and analysis
Your Second Upper Cervical Chiropractic Visit
Appointment Duration: 45 to 60 minutes
On your second visit, our doctors will review and perform the following:
- Complete Report of Findings & Radiology Review
- Your 1st Spinal Correction Procedure
- Spinal Decompression Treatment (If applicable)
- Post Correction Therapeutic Massage
- Post Correction X-Ray Imaging & Analysis
Initial Intensive Chiropractic Care Plan
Plan Duration: 90 Days; ranging from 6-10 Visits
Although we commonly see relief after the second visit, time is required for the spine and connective tissues to strengthen and stabilize leading to a full recovery.
The initial care plan includes ~90 days of precise care on an intermittent basis, in the range of 6 to 10 office visits.
The better and faster you respond, the more aggressive we can be on spacing out your office visits.
Dr. Ryan will give you the individualized course of treatment he feels will best fit your needs. Your treatment plan will be based on:
- Your detailed medical history
- The state and condition of your spine
- The size and complexity of your misalignment
- Physical activity level, age, and gender
- Your response to the initial correction procedure
- During this 90-day period, your spine will continue to strengthen and stabilize further. You can expect to experience many positive health changes as we bring you and your body back to optimal balance and function.
We also understand that we are not able to provide resolution to every condition that walks through our doors.
You may have a condition that is not directly related to what we treat in our office. However, if this is the case and we are not able to solve your problem, we will do our best to find someone who can.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does it Cost to Start Care?
Consultation: Complimentary
New Patient Fee: $595
General Office Visits: $85
Do you accept insurance?
No; our office is strictly a cash practice. However, we will provide you with a health insurance claim form that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Our relationship is with you, not your insurance company.
Do I Have To Keep Coming In For The Rest of My Life?
No. This belief is a myth. Our goal is to provide you with excellent spinal correction with the least number of visits.
Everyone is different. Factors such as age, previous injury, work activities and general health all make a difference in how long you can “hold” your spinal correction. Many patients find that they can maintain their correction for six months to a year. We recommend a quarterly checkup to keep things in tune. Why? Because your body is a dynamic structure. However, that choice is entirely your decision.
The best surgeon isn’t the one who makes the most incisions. The same is true of chiropractors. Are the best chiropractors the ones having to see you multiple times per week?
We want you to get well quickly and efficiently, and help you stay that way with a minimal amount of visits.
Do I Have to Have My Neck Popped and Cracked?
No. We use a state-of-the-art technique called chiropractic orthospinology. This approach requires no twisting of the neck, no popping and no cracking. Your neck will never be placed in an uncomfortable position.
Our techniques allow you to feel relaxed and comfortable during your time with the doctor.
Is Chiropractic Safe?
Chiropractic care pageChiropractic care can have risks associated with it. Typically, these risks are amplified with high velocity adjustments done via traditional chiropractic adjustments.
Our treatments are able to correct the spine without any additional risks that are accompanied with traditional methods. We do not twist, pop, or crack the neck making any type of severe adverse effects next to impossible.
If you’d like to read some additional information about the safety of the chiropractic adjustment, we encourage you to do so on our chiropractic care page.
