TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
There are numerous philosophies among the chiropractic profession regarding the treatment of patients. I design a patient’s individualized treatment plan based on reproducible outcomes. My initial concern is to get a patient out of acute pain and then progress the patient into a strength and conditioning regiment, followed by preventative education.
