Your First Visit to Our Merrimac Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

In any new situation, the fear of the unknown exists.  Our goal is to eliminate every shred of apprehension and make you feel at home.

Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits with each one building on the ones before, it is important that our relationship can go the distance.  We've found that one of the best ways to have a successful patient relationship is to explain everything in advance.  No surprises!

The more you understand who we are, what we do and why we do it, the better results you'll enjoy.  It is as simple as that.

The first visit will include a comprehensive case history, examination, and if necessary x-rays.  After reviewing the x-rays with the patient and discussing a working diagnosis, a treatment plan will be mapped out.  The patient is then brought into a treatment room and adjusted.  Certain conditions require physical therapy for the affected area and are applied at this time.  This entire process takes approximately 60 minutes so as not to make the patient feel rushed in any way.

 Dr. Kathy Asks some important questions of interest to Merrimac residents - Chiropractor Merrimac Dr. Kathy Asks...

Do nerves actually get pinched?
Chiropractors recognize two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
Is chiropractic safe?
What do you consider safe? Chiropractic care is safer than driving your car on the streets of Merrimac, getting back surgery, taking aspirin and even safer than taking a shower in your own home! Compared with things we accept as safe, chiropractic care is even safer. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
