FAQs

Our frequency together will vary based on the individual and the condition. Getting an individual out of pain is the easy part, but it takes time to correct the underlying dysfunctions that caused the problem in the first place. Pain is a result of dysfunction. My goal is to correct the dysfunction and give each patient the knowledge and ability to manage their health without entirely relying on me.

We take pride in the fact that we specialize in listening to our patients to understand their issues from their point of view. And that takes time. So, we are committed to taking the time to understand. My sessions then can run up to 1 hour long.

I do utilize Chiropractic adjustments, but only when necessary. Not everyone needs to be adjusted. It is just one of my tools; I only use it when necessary.

Our time together depends on the individual and the condition. It also depends on how active you are in managing your problems by doing the homework I give you. I can’t fix you on my own without you playing an active part in managing your health. We will be a team for your care. So to speed up your recovery, you must stick to our recovery & treatment plan and do the prescribed exercises daily.

I am not JUST a Chiropractor. My practice uses multiple wellness disciplines to help our patients through the most effective means possible. I utilize modalities like chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, A.R.T. (active release technique), Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, and laser therapy to help get individuals out of the acute phase of pain. Once we have decreased the pain you are experiencing, we will then move into correcting the problems long-term by going through rehab exercises together.

Every patient has an individualized and personalized care plan specific to their needs.

I am continually seeking to improve my skills and knowledge in my field to provide my patients with the very best care. I commit to over 100 hours of continuing education every year.

The simple answer is NO. Dr. Gabe Mirkin, MD, who came up with the RICE protocol back in 1978, has since retracted his statement that this is not the right thing to do following an injury and inhibits the natural healing process.

The new protocol is M.E.A.T:

M.E. = Small movements and light resistive exercise immediately following injuries to prevent losing our range of motion and build stability

A.T. = Stands for analgesic or pain-relieving treatments. Dry needling, Instrument assisted soft tissue therapy, laser therapy, and Kinesio taping can reduce pain and facilitate the inflammatory process to speed healing times and get you back into action faster.

It would be best if you stayed consistent with the prescribed exercises that I give you. I often refer my patients to my naturopath, or my preferred expert in regenerative medicine.

Frequency is essential in the initial phase of the healing process. For best results, I see my patients three times a week for the first four weeks, each visit being 45 minutes.
