Your First Treatment with Dr. Michael

After a complete History and Exam, Dr. Michael will sit down with you and explain what she believes is your problem from a chiropractic reference. She will at that time confirm whether or not you are a candidate for chiropractic care. Then, she will tell you how she intends to help your situation, how long your acute phase will take and the cost of care.

Dr. Michael is dedicated to helping relieve subluxations, balancing your nervous system and helping you learn how to take better care of yourself. You may be required to put on a treatment gown so we can access your areas of complaint for your adjustment, physical therapy or massage. Or, you may need to bring a pair of shorts to wear during your treatment if your problem is with a lower extermity.

We treat symptoms of dysfunction in the stomach, gall bladder, colon/digestion, female organs, lungs, pancreas, adrenal and stress (which can cause all sorts of physical problems)
