My philosophy as a chiropractor and health care provider has always been to "Help my patients to feel better as quickly as possible while giving them the tools to maintain that health for as long as possible." When people are hurting, their first priority is to feel better as quickly as possible. Therefore, as I treat a patient, that is the foremost thing on my mind. My goal is to find THE CAUSE of each individual's unique problem. Ten different people can come in to the office with low back pain, but all ten can have a completely different cause for their pain. It is my job to find the cause of that pain and correct it to the best of my ability, as fast as possible.
Secondly, my goal is to help my patients maintain their health once they attain initial relief from their primary complaint. This frequently involves instructing them in very specific stretches and strengthening exercises. Patients who follow this course, always find they need fewer follow-up visits and recover much faster.
Lastly, I truly do try to make chiropractic care as affordable as possible. When we can quickly fix the cause of one's pain or ailment and then give that patient the tools to maintain their health at home, a patient ends up saving a lot of money by not having to constantly come in for adjustments. Part of a good maintenance program does include coming in for occasional, but consistant chiropractic treatments. These occasional treatments help a patient to stay flexible and strong and avoid injuries.
