Q1. Is there over dependency on passive treatment?
At our clinic, we understand the importance of staying current with the latest scientific literature to provide our patients with the best possible care. Our clinicians are well-versed in the biopsychosocial model, which takes into account not only the physical aspect of an injury but also the psychological and social factors that may be contributing to it. To aid our patients in their recovery, we rely on short term intensive passive treatment, which helps to alleviate pain and inflammation. Our ultimate goal is to empower our patients, allowing them to strengthen their muscles and regain their mobility while educating them on the root cause of their injury. We understand that every patient is unique, and we are dedicated to tailoring our treatments to their individual needs.
Q2. What is the scope of your practice?
At our practice, we prioritize appropriate patient selection when it comes to spinal disorders and chronic pain. We understand that these issues are complex and require a deep understanding of the research literature in order to provide effective treatment. That's why our chiropractors focus their expertise on spinal diagnostics and chronic pain management. However, we also recognize the benefits of collaboration in achieving the best outcomes for our patients. That's why we work closely with local physicians, surgeons, and interventional radiologists to ensure that our patients receive comprehensive care. In addition, our other clinicians specialize in treating peripheral joint injuries, allowing us to provide a wide range of services to meet our patients' needs.
Q3. Do you X ray everyone?
No. We only use imaging if it's necessary to answer questions that we can't answer through the physical exam.
Q4.Are Cervical spine adjustments dangerous?
It is important to note that any treatment, no matter how benign, carries potential risks if applied indiscriminately. As with all medical interventions, it is the responsibility of the clinician to ensure that their patient is a reasonable candidate for the proposed treatment. Chiropractors, who frequently use spinal adjustments as part of their therapeutic toolbox, understand that it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it is carefully graded according to the tissue integrity of the patient. Factors such as connective tissues and potential complications of the vasculature come into play in determining if cervical spine adjustment is appropriate for a given patient.
