Second Visit

We'll spend about 15 minutes reviewing our findings with you and offering answers to important questions you are sure to have!  If our findings lead us to a clear and reasonable hope that we can help you, then after we have explained the facts of your condition, you will be given the choice to proceed to the next step!

Questions

Most people want to know...

[1] What's wrong?
[2] Can we help?
[3] How long will it take?
[4] How much will it cost?

The answers to questions #2, #3 and #4 greatly depend on the responsiveness of your spine to being adjusted and what your specific health goals are.

Choices

If your findings indicate clear hope that we can help, then the next logical step is to offer you the choice of receiving what we refer to as, a "test adjustment."  This will help us know how locked up, or rigid your spine is, or how resistant or responsive it is to correction.  Should you request the test adjustment and it proves effective, then you decide the next step, based on what your health goals are.

You're the Boss

Most new patients then ask us to put together a program of care to help them achieve the health goals they desire.  If this is the course of action you choose to take, then we will take the time to sit down, study all the information we've gathered from you and create a thoughtful program of care which is appropriate to your unique situation!

You tell us what you want and we create a program of care to help you get it.  This will provide the answers to questions #3 and #4.  Then on your next visit, we will present your special program of care for your review and acceptance.

Dr. Marc Asks some important questions of interest to Sumner residents - Chiropractor Sumner Dr. Marc Asks...

Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Sumner chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
