|  During your first visit you'll get a chance to talk face to face with Dr. Coates about your health history and what you'd like to accomplish. From here, she will determine if an examination is necessary. The exam is made up of orthopedic and neurological tests that determine if there is a problem and if chiropractic can help. The exam will also determine if x-rays are needed.
Once all the information is collected, Dr. Coates will design a treatment plan for you that will get you started on your path to wellness. This plan may include spinal adjustments and perhaps nutritional advice or exercises to do on your own.
The removal of subluxation, or mis-alignment in the spine, is called an adjustment. A gentle force is used to move the subluxated bone back into the proper alignment. When the bone is moving properly, pressure is taken off the nerves, opening up the channels of communication between the brain and the body. This allows you to feel and function better. Adjustments are very safe and comfortable.
Dr. Coates has extensive training in several chiropractic techniques including:
- Diversified
- Activator Method
- Cox Flexion/Distraction
- Thompson
- Gonstead
After your initial consultation and examination, Dr. Coates will determine the most appropriate technique to use for your specific needs. |
