Advanced Smyrna Chiropractic Center

 

The Office Visit

Your first visit to Advanced Smyrna Chiropractic Center will give you an opportunity to find out if chiropractic care can help you. Dr. Joel Desaulniers will do a thorough case history and examination to make sure that your condition can be helped through the natural healing of chiropractic adjustments. As a doctor of chiropractic medicine Dr. Desaulniers believes in natural healing. As such he also uses methods of rehabilitation, therapy, and nutrition in his clinic.

On your initial visit Dr. Desaulniers will provide a no-charge consultation. This will allow you to meet the doctor and the staff with no commitments attached. If Dr. Desaulniers feels that you could benefit from chiropractic care, he will do a complete health history, examination, and x-rays (if needed).

Dr. Desaulniers will review your findings in great detail and on the following day present to you your schedule of care and what he found. Dr. Desaulniers will begin your adjustments on that day and any therapy treatments that your condition would necessitate.

Subluxation

When one or more vertebrae lose their normal position, they interfere with the nerves they were meant to protect. This interference can cause pressure or irritation on the spinal cord and/or on the nerve roots as they pass out of the spinal column. This misalignment of the vertebrae and pinching of the nerves is called a subluxation and is the most common aspect of what doctors call the vertebral subluxation complex.
