Many people are nervous when visiting a chiropractor for the first time. Rest assured that Dr. Spacke's comfortable surroundings and helpful staff will ensure that your visit is pleasant and informative.
First, you will consult with the doctor as to your symptoms, your health history and your hopes for treatment.
|
After your consult, you'll be taken to the exam room where Dr. Spacke will perform a physical exam as well as a neurological scan.
The scanning procedure is painless and helps the doctor to determine the integrity of your spinal column, muscles and nerves, which allows for comprehensive diagnosis before your treatment begins.
The scan is also used periodically after your first visit to judge the effectiveness of the treatment.

Next you'll spend approximately ten minutes in one of the clinic's "massage" chairs, which many patients consider the best part of treatment.
The technical term is for what the chair provides is "inter-segmental traction." It features rollers that move from the base of the spine to the neck, which lightly stretch the
spinal column to help imbibe the vertebral disks with extra fluid so that they work better.
In addition, this movement also helps to remove the superficial layer of the spasming. This is why, on subsequent visits, you'll use the chair before any adjustments are made. When the superficial muscle spasms are gone, the doctor's adjustment can penetrate more deeply.
|
After your first visit, Dr. Spacke will analyze the results of your scan and on your second visit she will give you a report of the findings.
At that time, the two of you can discuss your options and then decide on the course of treatment that's appropriate for you.
