What Happens During a Chiropractic Visit?

After setting up an appointment and arriving for your first visit, you'll enjoy meeting our friendly staff. After completing some simple new patient forms, you'll meet Dr. John Cianciolo.

Dr. Cianciolo will review your health history and ask you some very important questions to determine if your problem is likely to be helped with Chiropractic care. An examination will then be performed to determine soft tissue injury or whether or not there are fixated spinal vertebrae.

With a complete understanding of your condition, physical therapy modalities will be applied to the region to help decrease muscle spasm, inflammation and pain. Next, you're ready for your Chiropractic spinal adjustment. Spinal adjustments consist of unlocking certain spinal segments which may have become fixated causing abnormal movement or nerve irritation in the spine. These “adjustments” are performed by hand and are generally painless. Adjustments help restore proper spinal function and mobility which are necessary to begin the healing process. Continued visits help maintain the supporting muscles and ligaments of your spine. Periodic examinations will monitor the healing process. Following treatment, Dr. Cianciolo is and an advocate of educating his patients on proper ergonomic work environment, flexibility stretches, strengthening exercises. Home care advice is also essential and may include recommendations of moist heat, topical Biofreeze ointment, lumbar cushions and orthopedic braces when necessary.
