Dr. D Asks...

What's a side effect?

It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!

Which organs are extra?

You don't have any spare parts. Sure, we can survive without our tonsils, appendix, gall bladder and several other tissues, but each serves a purpose. We chiropractors recognize this. So the chiropractic approach I use in Berkeley Heights is to reduce nerve interferences to the control and regulation of every tissue, organ and system of your body.

Regular Visits

A typical office visit you will check in at the front desk and sign in.

Once in the treatment room it is okay to relax and do a few stretches on the table to prepare for the adjustment.

Please take any bulky objects out of your pockets.

Dr. D will go over your response since your last visit and check your spine for joint locking and the areas that need to be adjusted. Any areas of myofibrosis (muscle knots)  in your muscles will also be checked and treated for the day.

Therapies and are also given at this time and exercises may be done, too. For our decompression patients, decompression is generally done before the adjustment. The adjustment takes only a few minutes, while therapies and exercises are performed in 15 minute intervals.

One of the differences at DCA is that your treatments will often change over time as your condition responds. Also, there will be days when you may present with a different complaint, which will require a change in your usual treatment. For example, if we've been treating your low back and you come in with a migraine, it will affect your treatment program.
