Getting Started
Pre-exam. The doctor will get a patient history from you and ask questions to learn about past injuries and illness, as well as your present physical condition. This information will help the doctor determine whether you are a chiropractic patient.
Exam. Your current physical condition is investigated during your initial examination. A series of X-rays may be taken to determine the “big picture” of spinal alignment and nerve condition. Additional testing of reflexes, grip strength and the external appearance of the spine will all help to determine where your particular problem may lie.
Post-exam. After your exam, the doctor will inform you of his findings. He will show you any spinal subluxations on the X-rays and tell you how he plans to correct them. At this time, he will outline a treatment program for you.
Treatment. Through the use of the chiropractic adjustment, the chiropractor will gently realign your vertebrae to their normal positions, allowing the pinched nerves to heal.
Symptoms may be alleviated and your body’s normal function restored.
How Many Visits Will I Need?
It’s a common myth that if you begin chiropractic care, you will have to continue forever. We tell our patients that you can see us as often as you like. You will receive Dr. Pizza’s best recommendations, and it is your choice how many visits you’d like to have.
You can think of chiropractic like going to the dentist — even after you get a cavity filled, you want to continue preventative visits to make sure you do not encounter more serious problems with your teeth. We work in the same way, helping you maintain your health with regular visits. The decision is always up to you.
