Q:  What happens at the first chiropractic appointment?

A: 
All patients fill in a Patient Questionnaire and receive a personal consultation,  examination, and x-rays (if needed).  We check for scoliosis, spinal arthritis degeneration, and bone thinning.  Dr. Chisholm will give you a personal report of his findings, including your x-rays, with his recommendations for your care.

Q:  Do you have to make an appointment?

A:  We prefer that you make an appointment and we can usually offer same day appointments when you call.

Q:  Do you accept and file insurance claims?

A:  Yes, we will file insurance forms for your convenience.

Q:  What services do you offer?

A:  We offer: 

  • Gentle spinal adjustments
  • Thorough nerve, muscle stimulation and joint examination
  • Electrical muscle stimulation to relax painful muscle spasms
  • Moist hot packs to increase circulation in problem areas
  • Traction - to increase joint flexibility

Q:  Do you treat children?

A:  Yes, we use very specific, gentle techniques to care for children.

  Q:  What's that cracking noise?   Most patients will sooner or later ask this question. 

A:  A joint contains fluid that keep it healthy and lubricate (like oil for the joint). This "synovial fluid" contains gas [like carbonation in soft  drinks]. When an adjustment is made you may hear a noise (called an "audible release"). The audible release of gas in the joint much like when you open a can of soda.

Q:  What should I do if I am injured at work or in an auto accident?

A:   If you are injured at work and you are physically, able, contact
your supervisor and inform them of your accident. They will provide
you with the necessary paperwork to document your injury. It is
very important to explain your accident in as much detail as possible. Each state has a set of laws for obtaining the appropriate health care following an injury at work.

It is important to be evaluated by your health care professional as soon as possible following a work related injury or auto accident. This will help minimize any long term effects of your accident. Most Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in treating patients injured at work or in auto accidents.
