Dr. D Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?

Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.

What's the difference between chiropractic and medicine?

Medical treatment focuses on the disease or the symptom. Chiropractic focuses on the person with the disease or the symptom. Medical treatment usually involves changing blood chemistry. Chiropractic involves restoring nervous system integrity. Medical doctors prescribe medicine. Chiropractors adjust the spine—a common source of nervous system interference.

Your Second Visit

The second visit is called the report of findings and is a 20 minute session when Dr. D. reviews with you your diagnosis, what is wrong and the course of treatment .

Research has shown that only 23% of this information is actually remembered, so please bring a family member, friend or spouse along to get as much information as possible from the doc. Any test results, including x-rays, will be reviewed at this time.

Also, since there are no surprises in our office, we will also do a financial consultation and go over the expected costs for your care, on this visit, too.

After all of the talking is over and your questions are answered, you will also receive an adjustment and any other treatments that you will need to respond as quickly as possible.
