What can I expect on my first day?
The first day a comprehensive exam will be performed. The exam will include a full history, orthopedic evaluation, neurological exam, and a patient treatment plan. This will allow the doctor to access the entire body’s condition as a whole, this will enable the doctor to be able to give you in the most accurate details as possible exactly what is going on and will allow for the doctor to create a treatment plan that is specialized on the patient’s needs making treaments more effective and keeping pain away. A typical day 1 exam can take 45 minutes to an hour to perform. Treatment will be given on the first day if it is clinically indicated.
Is it true once you start with chiropractic you can’t stop?
This is absolutely false with Competitive Edge Sports and Spine. We do not require long extensive treatment plans. We pride ourselves on being able to treat your pain and finding the route of the cause. We do not require you to keep coming for maintenance care. We want you in and out just as fast as you do. Our mission is to get you recovered and pain free fast enough that you will want to come to us whenever another condition occurs or you refer someone else to us.
Do you require x-rays?
X-rays are not available inside the clinic. If a patient’s treatment plan is determined to need an x-ray prior to treatment they will be told and refered to an outside clinic. From there the doctor will access and determine the patients further need for treatment. Most cases we will not require an x-ray if it is not clinically necessary to do so. This will be determined during the first exam.

Is Doc J a chiropractor that agrees with the other medical professions?

Each visit the doctor is there to talk and listen to hear your side of what happened, if you are not given the appropriate amount of time to give your history the true solution to your condition can not be fully understood.
