Greenwood Chiropractic - New Clients

This is probably the most common concern people have when they first seek chiropractic care. But with a gentle and compassionate approach the process of correcting and aligning the spine is comfortable and in most cases provides astonishingly fast relief.

 

A proper adjustment works with the body and is done in harmony with the natural breath and movement of the patient. I use both modern Western Chiropractic techniques as well as techniques from the more ancient Japanese style of chiropractic called sekkotsu which has been relied on for health and relief in the East for centuries. These techniques allow the patient to be adjusted in a comfortable way either seated, lying down or even standing up.

The first step in solving a problem is identifying what the actual problem is. I use state of the art diagnostic technology and techniques developed both in the U.S. and in Japan for finding and correcting the cause of many types of health problems.

 

Some conditions require only one or two areas of the body to be adjusted. Other conditions require several areas. In some cases the joints of the arms, legs, feet and even internal organs may be gently adjusted. The most important part of getting results is a careful and thorough assessment to determine the most effective way to correct the problem.

 

The correct adjustment is often the key to getting results. An adjustment is a specific, short impulse that provides the precise amount of energy to correct a specific issue. The art of adjusting, like that of a surgeon, requires years of experience combined with a large measure of the doctor's natural ability in order to be effective.

Whether you have insurance that covers chiropractic or not we have a plan that can make care affordable for individuals and for families. If you have short term care needs or long term we will find a financial solution that meets your needs. We are a preferred provider for Blue Shield and accept most PPO insurance policies as well as Medicare. If you don't have chiropractic coverage we will discuss your personal health and financial needs to find a solution that works for you.

Many people experience relief within a short number of adjustments. There are some conditions, depending on age and the duration and severity of the condition that can require more correction.

 

Everyone's body is different. For example, two people might join the gym together and do exactly the same exercise routine, but they will not necessarily experience the same results. One will naturally respond faster than the other. This is true for any real changes that we wish to create in our body and our health.

Once your goals are achieved there is no obligation to continue with care. But for those who want to maintain there initial results and achieve even higher levels of health and well being we have plans to make it affordable. There is a lot of evidence that regular chiropractic care can help stave off many health and aging problems in your life and keep you feeling your best. Regular preventive chiropractic care is always a smart choice.

There are conditions for which chiropractic care is not the answer. This is what we want to determine on your initial visit. If it appears unlikely that we will be able help you we will let you know and advise your of your possible alternatives. We only accept cases that we feel we can help.

Many chiropractors utilize techniques that assess spinal alignment by x-ray. This tradition goes back to the beginning of chiropractic. In fact, medical x-rays were invented in Germany the very same year that chiropractic was started in the U.S.

 

However, modern non-invasive technology and examination techniques allow us to avoid the use of unnecessary x-rays. We can order x-rays if medically necessary depending on the patient's history and our exam findings. However, we don't routinely x-ray patients as is done in some chiropractic offices.
