Our North Vancouver Chiropractors Are Ready to Serve You

Come in and consult with our North Vancouver Chiropractors. After diagnosis they will inform you of the chiropractic adjustments and care you need to regain your health and lifestyle.

Chiropractors are health experts trained in the neuro-muscular-skeletal system. They diagnose and treat disorders of the spine and other body joints by adjusting the spinal column or through other corrective manipulation. Chiropractors provide conservative management of disorders including, but not limited to, back, neck and head pain. They also advise patients on corrective exercises, lifestyle and nutrition.

Here’s what you can expect… set aside at least 30 minutes for your first visit to the chiropractor. Future visits typically last 15 minutes or less, though the time required will depend upon the type of treatment you require.

On your first visit, your chiropractor may ask about the following:

Personal and perhaps family medical history
Major illnesses
Any surgeries or operations
Medications you are taking
Your description of your present condition
What you have done to manage your condition
Your diet and exercise
Your sleeping habits, daily activities, work routine, stress level, and home life

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for your visit to the chiropractor! Your chiropractor may ask you to change into a gown to perform some of these tests:

• A check of your blood pressure, pulse and breathing
• Tests of your reflexes, strength and sensations
• Analysis of your posture
• A X-ray of your spine
• An analysis of your movement — he/she will observe how you walk, turn, bend or lift things, as well as how your body moves in the affected area
• Hands-on evaluation of how well your spine moves, identifying restrictions and areas of improper motion

Here’s an important Tip:
Bring a copy of any X-rays or radiology reports you have. These assessments give your chiropractor a better picture of your complete health.

Your chiropractor will discuss a schedule of care, which will depend on your specific circumstances. For some people chiropractic treatment is like a regular tune-up, to help deal with the daily wear and tear of life. For others, it’s simply an effective treatment when pain or discomfort strikes.

Take the time to discuss with your chiropractor the treatment plan that’s best for you.

If your chiropractor diagnoses a condition more appropriately treated by another health care professional, he or she will make a referral.
