OUR CARE
What each visit can include
Your doctor chooses from these after your exam and explains the risks of each before you decide.
Spinal adjustment
Hands-on adjustments to the spine, chosen after your exam. Adjustments to the neck carry rare serious risks, which the doctor explains before you decide. You can say no to any technique.
A conversation and an exam first
The technique and its risks explained
Your choice at every step
A check on how you feel afterward
Flexion-distraction
A table technique that moves the spine slowly and rhythmically, with the doctor adjusting the pressure as you tell them how it feels.

A movement check
Exercises to practice on your own
A plan for building back up

Check-ins as the plan goes on
Headache care
We ask about your headaches, examine your neck and how you move, and use hands-on care and exercises where they fit. Adjustments to the neck carry rare serious risks, which the doctor explains. A sudden severe headache is an emergency: see the notice below.
A history and a neck exam
A referral to a physician when one is needed
The risks explained before any adjustment
Exercises and habits to try
Balance and eye-movement exercises
Simple exercises for balance and for how your eyes follow and hold a target, practiced in the office and at home. We do not diagnose the cause of dizziness; if you have it, your doctor may ask you to see a physician first.

Not sure which service fits?
Book a first visit. After the exam, your doctor explains the options and what each would cost.
