Los Angeles Chiropractor

As your Los Angeles Chiropractor, rest assured that you will receive the very best treatments available. A common question about chiropractors is 'Are you a real doctor?'. Your Los Angeles Chiropractor is very well educated. The science of chiropractic requires a special emphasis on anatomy, pathology, physiology, neurology, biomechanics, x-ray, spinal adjusting techniques, and many other related subjects. This demanding curriculum prepares your Los Angeles Chiropractor to locate the subluxation and help to correct the resulting nervous system dysfunction. To graduate with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, your Los Angeles Chiropractor must pass the demanding National Board Examination. Then, he must apply to a governmental or professional licensing board and pass a State Board Examination before being granted the privilege to practice. The education of your Los Angeles Chiropractor never ends.

What does your Los Angeles Chiropractor do?

Your Los Angeles Chiropractor will assist you in finding and treating the causes of pain, including spinal problems resulting in pain, such as upper and lower back pain, headaches, and neck pain.

Helping to restore proper spinal biomechanics and improved nervous system function begins with a case history. This gives your Los Angeles Chiropractor a background about your health, such as surgeries, accidents, the onset of your condition, and other details of the problems that are affecting your current health.

After reviewing your history and discussing your specific problem, a thorough chiropractic examination is done by your Los Angeles Chiropractor. X-rays may be taken to help uncover structural and functional problems associated with the spine. These examinations help to identify areas of spinal malfunction and resulting nervous system deficit. The findings of these examinations are fully explained and a plan of chiropractic treatment for problems is initiated by your Los Angeles Chiropractor. The plan consists of a program of spinal adjustments as well as manipulation. One's progress is monitored with periodic examinations and follow-up reports.

Is it true that once you start, you will have to go for the rest of your life?

As your Los Angeles Chiropractor, we promise that you will not be treated one visit above and beyond what you need or want. Because our bodies are self-healing, your body will tell us when you no longer need chiropractic care. This may occur after one treatment, or it may take more. Also, as your Los Angeles Chiropractor, we will always provide you with options and communicate the benefits and consequences when discussing your treatment plan.
