When you arrive for your initial appointment you will be asked to provide us with some information about your health history, and the nature of your current complaint or reason for your visit. After you complete this short process, your chiropractor will spend some time talking with you so that he will better understand your condition and be aware of any other health concerns you may have.
Once Dr. Slaymaker feels that he has a complete understanding of the history and nature of your complaint, he will perform an examination to help him evaluate your condition and develop a working diagnosis. After the examination, your chiropractor will explain his diagnosis and will address whether he feels chiropractic treatment is appropriate. If chiropractic care is deemed appropriate, he will discuss the specific types of treatment that will be helpful and a schedule for treatment. The types of therapy that we provide include physiotherapy modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound, ice and heat, chiropractic manipulation, exercise therapy, and rehabilitation. Finish up your visit with a relaxing massage in our Human Touch Massage Chairs. After each visit, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a chair massage. You’ll LOVE it!
In contrast with some chiropractors, Dr. Slaymaker believes that a patient should notice an improvement in 4 visits. In the rare instance that little or no improvement is seen within that time frame, he will reassess your complaint and most likely provide a recommendation or referral for other treatment. In most cases, it is most effective for a patient to receive treatment more frequently in the early stages of care.
