Natural Chiropractic Care with Dr Ronald Adams

What you can expect from your Natural Chiropractic Care:

Initial Visit
It is recommended that you arrive at the office fifteen minutes before your appointment time to complete the necessary paperwork.

A thorough examination will include a physical, orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examination to determine how you can best be helped. This will determine if your problem is indeed a chiropractic case.

A low dose set of x-ray images may be taken to see any signs of pathology, malformations or fractures in your spine. The general condition of the joints in your spine will be noted, along with specific angulations and curvatures.

Second Visit—Report of Findings

On the second visit, which is usually the day following your first visit, you will receive a report of findings from your examination. For acute cases this can be done on the same day.

We will present a thorough explanation of our findings. We will present your x-rays and explain the findings to you. In most cases an anatomical model of the spine will be used to ensure your comprehension of the findings.

We will then tell you the amount of improvement you can expect in your condition, as well as how long it will likely take to achieve meaningful results. You will be given an individualized treatment schedule and a re-exam date where we can determine your progress.
