How often do I have to come?
This varies from person to person and from condition to condition. As a rule of thumb, problems that have been present for a long time typically take a bit longer to correct. Our first priority is to relieve your pain as quickly as possible. Once this is accomplished, we develop a stretching and strengthening protocol designed specifically to address the underlying problems that caused your pain. Typical treatment protocols are 6-12 visits in duration. We'll then teach you strategies to help you take care of problems on your own.
Do you treat more than just back pain?
Absolutely! We are specialists in treating disorders of the muscles, discs, joints, and nerves. We regularly help people with neck and back pain, numbness and tingling, carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle strains, sprains, flat feet, whiplash, headaches, TMJ, aches and pains associated with pregnancy, and sciatica.
Why should I see you instead of a physical therapist?
Chiropractic physicians are qualified to diagnose problems as well as render treatment. On your first visit to The Center for Better Health, you'll receive a thorough evaluation beginning with a comprehensive medical history and complete physical examination. This may include ordering x-rays, MRIs, blood studies or other special tests as necessary. Next, a treatment plan will be made to address your condition and will typically include physiotherapy, stretching, massage, manipulation and rehabilitative exercises. ALL of the rehabilitative exercise protocols at The Center for Better Health include ONE-ON-ONE instruction to maximize the effectiveness of your session.
What training does a chiropractic physician have? Most students are required to have a Bachelor's degree before applying to Chiropractic school. Undergraduate studies must include core courses in organic and inorganic chemistry, biology, physics, English, the social sciences or humanities, and psychology. Once accepted to chiropractic school, students then undertake 4 additional years of post-graduate, full-time, intensive schooling which includes anatomy, physiology, histology, biochemistry, physical diagnosis, pathology and many hours of clinical training. There is one year of clinical internship. Doctors of chiropractic must pass state and national board examinations to obtain licensure and meet continuing education requirements as dictated by the state in which they practice to maintain their licenses.
