What to Expect

  • From the moment you walk in, you’re in a judgment‑free, supportive environment. We listen first, then build a plan that fits your goals, schedule, and comfort level.

  • If you’re new to chiropractic, we’ll take the time to explain what we’re doing and why, and we’ll only proceed with techniques you’re comfortable with.

  • If you’ve seen a chiropractor before, we’ll integrate what’s worked (and avoid what hasn’t), all while aligning to current best evidence.

    • Complete your secure intake form (medical history, goals, preferences).

    • Wear or bring comfortable clothing for movement tests.

    • Bring any imaging or reports if you have them (optional).

    • Conversation & Goals: What matters most to you—pain relief, performance, mobility, or all of the above.

    • Assessment: Movement screening, joint and soft‑tissue testing, and function‑based measures relevant to your sport/work.

    • Diagnosis & Plan: Clear explanation of findings and a collaborative plan centered around your goals.

    • First Treatment: Evidence‑based techniques matched to your comfort and needs, plus targeted home strategies you can actually follow.

    • Progress Check: We assess what’s changing—and why.

    • Treatment: Refinements based on how your body responds (no cookie‑cutter visits).

    • Build Resilience: Progressively updated exercises, movement education, and self‑care strategies to keep you pain‑free between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Activator (the “Clicker”)

    A great example is using the Activator, which gets its nickname from the sound it makes. An Activator is a small handheld tool used to deliver a very gentle and precise impulse to a joint. The movement is quick but controlled, and you may appreciate that it does not involve twisting or heavy pressure.

    Drop Table

    Another option is using a drop table, sometimes called a drop piece. This specialized table has sections that move slightly during treatment, allowing joints to be adjusted with less force. The small drop helps the joints move while reducing the amount of pressure applied to your body.

    Mobilizations

    Mobilizations offer slow, controlled movements that gently improve joint motion without the quick thrust of a traditional chiropractic adjustment. I often combine mobilizations with muscle work and guided exercises to help improve your strength and mobility.

  • A Chiropractor can also write imaging requisitions for you, discuss the results, and answer any questions you may have.
