First off, you'll always get a warm welcome at Watkins Chiropractic!

Because the people here really care about your comfort and wellbeing. Everyone is committed to do their part to make your visit a rewarding experience.


Understanding your problem begins with learning your history. First, you'll need to tell us your health history. It's important. You may complete the questionnaire in the office or click here to download the form — Application for Treatment. Then just fill it out and bring it along.


Next you'll meet your doctor, discuss your symptoms and complete a thorough examination.

Your doctor will review your health history and discuss your health problems with you. Then she'll complete a thorough, painless physical examination — orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic. If x-rays are necessary, they'll be recommended at this point. We have on-site x-ray equipment, so they can be taken quickly. It won't be necessary to schedule x-rays at some other location.

Once the examination is complete, your doctor will schedule a follow-up appointment to report the results of your examination, discuss the cause, and make a plan to resolve it.


Your follow-up visit

On your next visit to Watkins Chiropractic, your doctor will report the findings of your physical examination, review your x-rays, and discuss your problem at length with you. Then, if she believes that chiropractic care is advisable, she'll recommend a course of treatment. If your doctor believes that chiropractic treatment can not help your problem, she will recommend an alternate course of action, or a medical physician in our community.


Your treatment schedule

If a course of chiropractic treatment is recommended, you will be completely informed of the treatment methods and the cost before any further treatment is scheduled. Your treatment will include some of the following.

What is a chiropractic adjustment?

The focus of your treatment will be chiropractic adjustments. An adjustment is simply a method of applying precise pressure to your spinal column to encourage the movement of vertebrae back into their natural positions. At Watkins Chiropractic, this is a gentle procedure that our patients look forward to receiving. Chiropractic adjustments are remarkably effective and completely safe.

Therapy

Ice, heat, traction, ultrasound, or electrical muscle stimulation are usually prescribed as part of your chiropractic treatment. These therapies are pleasant treatments designed to relax muscle tension and enable your body to accept chiropractic adjustments with more comfort and ease.

Massage Therapy

In certain instances, massage therapy may be recommended as part of your treatment. Massage has numerous health benefits, and is often beneficial when your muscles are especially tense due to trauma or stress and are interfering the healing benefits of your adjustments.


Insurance Benefits and Health Records

WE ACCEPT
INSURANCE FROM MOST MAJOR COMPANIES

Chiropractic care is recognized by most major insurance companies, and we happily file insurance and workman's compensation claims for hundreds of our patients.

We'll be glad to do it for you, too. Our insurance, bookkeeping and records staff works hard behind the scenes to make the "paper work" aspect of your health care as easy and trouble free as possible.
