One Size Doesn't Fit All!

You may have noticed that from one visit to the next, your adjustments all seem the same. "Seem" is the key word!

To those without a chiropractic degree and professional experience, the timing, angle, force and intent may appear to be the same on each visit. Even more inaccurate is the assumption that all patients are adjusted in the same way.

Not true!

Every chiropractor works a little differently, but there are many tools available to assist in an evaluation of your spine on each visit. These tools may include skin temperature readings along your spine, leg length measurements, posture, range of motion or even a high-tech tool called surface electromyograph. These and other objective measurements, combined with years of training and experience determine the care you receive on each visit.

That's just the start. Your care is also based on a highly-refined sense of touch. "Feeling with the hands" by gently pressing on muscles and spinal joints is called palpation. This form of ultra-sensitive touch provides volumes of information about joint stability, function and the approach that should be used. Nothing, not even an observant spouse or friend who accompanies you on your visit, can substitute for this special form of experience.

Your care is unique and your adjustments are tailored specifically to your individual needs. Your adjustments are unlike anyone else's. That's just one reason why we think you're so special!

Drs. David, Kelly & Tiffany Ask some important questions of interest to Seattle residents - Chiropractor Seattle Drs. David, Kelly & Tiffany Ask...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
