What Can I Expect During My Visit to Castlewood Chiropractic?

Your First Chiropractic Visit Includes:

• Health History -- A health intake form is completed at, or prior to, your first chiropractic visit. The intake informs the doctor of your current complaints, and your history of injuries or illnesses.
• Consultation -- You and your doctor will review your health intake form together. A history of spinal impacts, including auto-accidents, work, recreational and sports injuries is reviewed, along with your current work and daily activity.
• Clinical Examination -- Your examination will include a thorough evaluation of posture as well as orthopedic and neurologic tests when indicated. These tests will help determine if subluxation are affecting your health and function.
• X-ray and Analysis -- Your chiropractic examination may require x-rays. The x-rays reveal the degree of spinal mis-alignment, the phase of spinal degeneration, significant pathologies, and potential contraindications to care. In our clinic, careful analysis leads to precision measurements. These measurements, along with your clinical exam findings enable us to provide you with individualized treatment and optimal adjustments.

Your Second Chiropractic Visit Includes:

• Explanation / Report of Findings -- You will be given a complete report of findings after your doctor has studied your health history, clinical examination, and x-rays. You will receive education about your spine and nervous system and the specific findings relative to postural imbalances, limited ranges of motion, weak muscles, and positive orthopedic test results. After the exam findings are explained, your x-rays are reviewed and compared with normal radiographs; helping to provide you with a clear understanding of the problems present.
• First Chiropractic Adjustment -- After you have received your report and your doctor has answered your questions, your first chiropractic adjustment will be given (if appropriate). Because we are specialists in a variety of techniques at Castlewood Chiropractic, we are able to choose the most effective approach to enhance your comfort and your results.

Your Third Chiropractic Visit Includes:

• Recommendations Of Care -- At your third visit to Castlewood Chiropractic you will receive our best recommendations for your care. The recommendations will vary according to the severity of subluxations present, phase of degeneration, your age, current condition, and history of spinal impacts. Your care plan may also include specific spinal and extremity rehabilitation performed at this clinic. Our goal is to help you reach optimal health through maximum stabilization of your spine. Once stabilization is attained, our goal is to show you how to maintain your spine at its best throughout your life.

Family Policy

• Castlewood Chiropractic is a family practice and we feel honored to be chosen as your family Chiropractor. Since many spinal conditions can be hereditary and undetected, it is important that family members of our patients also be checked for vertebral subluxation. Many conditions that adults suffer from were present when they were children. Chiropractic is for kids too! Early adjustments help children grow into healthy adults. Early correction prevents problems that spinal subluxations can cause if left undetected and uncorrected.
