What Should You Expect On Your First Visit With Us?

At Bulverde Chiropractic our examinations procedures are geared toward detection and correction of the "Vertebral Subluxation" (click on this link for more information on subluxations). The procedures we use are therefore specifically selected for your spine and nervous system health. There are a couple of things that you should expect when you have a first visit at our clinic.

Our Examination consists of a thorough spinal and nervous system exam which includes "Palpation" ( wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing). Palpation essentially is checking your spine by hand. With this exam the doctor can feel areas of your spine that may be involved with subluxations problems. Spinal position, curvatures and muscle tone can also be examined. Your examination will include a physical history and range of motion study. This is a thorough examination so please expect the first visit to last up to ninety minutes. If necessary, x-rays will be ordered at a later date.

The importance of each of these tests will be explained to you at your Report of Findings. However, it is important to note that this examination helps scientifically understand the subluxation processes going on in your spine. It also gives us a baseline for future tests so we can accurately measure your progress to see how your spine is correcting and your nervous system is functioning. Using these examination procedures is much more accurate than just depending on "how you feel" on any given day.

Our Chiropractic Care utilizes low force Activator Methods Technique which accurately tests and diagnoses subluxations. We consider subluxations to be a serious threat to the quality and quantity of your health and that of your family. It is therefore imperative that we utilize the most precise, time-proven procedures to help you. We feel you're worth it!
