Many
people are nervous when visiting a chiropractor for the
first time. Rest assured that Dr. Geersen's comfortable
surroundings and helpful staff will ensure that your visit
is pleasant and informative.
First, you will consult with the doctor as to your symptoms,
your health history and your hopes for treatment. |
After your
consult, you'll be taken to the exam room where Dr. Geersen
will perform a physical exam as well as a neurological
scan.
The scanning
procedure is painless and helps the doctor to determine
the integrity of your spinal column, muscles and nerves,
which allows for comprehensive diagnosis before your treatment
begins.
The scan is also used periodically after your first visit
to judge the effectiveness of the treatment. |

Next
you'll spend approximately ten minutes in one of the clinic's
"massage" chairs, which many patients consider the best
part of treatment.
The technical term is for what the chair provides is "inter-segmental
traction." It features rollers that move from the base
of the spine to the neck, which lightly stretch the spinal
column to help imbibe the vertebral disks with extra fluid
so that they work better.
In addition, this movement also helps to remove the superficial
layer of the spasming. This is why, on subsequent visits,
you'll use the chair before any adjustments are made.
When the superficial muscle spasms are gone, the doctor's
adjustment can penetrate more deeply. |
After your
first visit, Dr. Geersen
will analyze the results of your scan and on your second
visit she will give you a report of the findings.
At that time, the two of you can discuss your options
and then decide on the course of treatment that's appropriate
for you. |
