Your First Visit

Dr. Steve will greet you by name and make you feel welcome. He’ll spend some time talking with you to understand your health history and your current situation, then he’ll do a thorough examination. He’ll also take digital x-rays…if needed. Once he’s gathered all the information, he’ll explain to you exactly what’s going on. He’s very down-to-earth and enjoys educating patients in a straightforward way. He’ll show you your X-rays and lay out how chiropractic care may be able to help you.


Always respecting your goals, Dr. Steve will give you his recommendations for care, which generally include an option that is strictly for pain relief, as well as an option for longer-term corrective spinal care, if that is what the x-rays are calling for.

New Car Accident Patients First Visit

Chiropractic adjustments are the backbone of what we do. However, when dealing with a new car accident patient, a lot of time is also reserved for modalities. We use cold laser, ultrasound, electric stimulation, and microcurrent in order to address the soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, discs, and joint capsules). We tend to initially focus on clearing up inflammation and pain, along with our light adjustments. As treatment progresses, we add breaking up lactic acid in the muscles. In later stages, we go after any scar tissue we might find. Using these therapies helps the adjustments last longer, making our corrections more effective.

    Chiropractic care can indeed contribute to improving posture. However, it requires dedication from the patient and an awareness of their habits outside of our care. Additionally, regular exercise plays a crucial role in correcting posture, alongside Chiropractic adjustments.
