What does a typical initial visit to a chiropractor consist of?
Your initial visit with Dr. Buchli-Kelly will begin with a detailed intake of your primary complaint followed by a focused physical exam to determine the exact cause of your pain. Dr. Buchli-Kelly will then articulate a diagnosis and provide you with a customized treatment plan to get you back to feeling your best.
After my initial visit, what will my follow-up visits look like?
Dr. Buchli-Kelly tailors each treatment to the needs of her patient's. Most treatments will consist of soft tissue therapy, medical acupuncture, exercise prescription and spinal manipulation (if warranted). Check out the services section of this website for more information on all the services she offers.
What is that "cracking" noise I hear during a spinal adjustment?
When joints in your spine, specifically your facet joints, are not moving properly this may require a spinal adjustment to help restore proper function. When a light, fast thrust is applied to the facet joints there is a release of pressure in the joints which causes the "cracking" noise you may hear.
Do chiropractors only focus on treatment of the spine?
The answer is no. Chiropractors are musculoskeletal (MSK) specialists and are trained with a four year post-graduate degree to treat all muscles and joints in the body. So whether you are suffering from a chronic knee injury, acute elbow pain or an on-going overuse injury Dr. Buchli-Kelly can help you.
