We provide customized and specialty care that is safest and most necessary for your body. To do this, we formulate an accurate diagnosis before performing any treatment or setting up your treatment plan. There are other chiropractic clinics that offer adjustments without x-rays. However, it can be dangerous to adjust you without full understanding of your structural needs. We use an x-ray machine with low exposure to radiation. Getting a full set of x-rays with us is less radiation than taking a flight to Chicago and back.
We generally do not perform adjustments on your first visit; providing a proper diagnosis is essential to design an effective plan of care and can include x-rays and other assessments. If you are in acute pain when you come in for your first visit, we will provide the safest and most effective relief we can given the available information of your preliminary assessments. If you request to receive treatment on your first day, please let the front-desk staff know when you schedule your visit.

After your second appointment, they shouldn’t be needed, but if it makes you more comfortable we are happy to accommodate. And you are welcome to bring your child. We value family and do have toys in the lobby to help keep them occupied, but we do not provide daycare, so you will have your child with you throughout the duration of your appointment.
