    When a patient seeks chiropractic health care & we accept a patient for such care, it is essential for both to be working towards the same objective.

    Chiropractic has one primary goal. It is important that each patient understand both the objective & the method that will be used to attain it. This will prevent any confusion or disappointment:

    • Problem: Vertebral Subluxation: A misalignment of one or more of the 24 vertebra in the spinal column, which causes alteration of nerve faction & interference to the transmission of mental impulses, resulting in a lessening of the body’s innate ability to express its maximum health potential.

    • Solution: Adjustment: An adjustment is the specific application of forces to facilitate the body’s correction of vertebral subluxation. Our chiropractic method of correction is by specific adjustments on the spine.

    • Goal: Health: A state of optimal physical, mental & social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

    We do not offer to diagnose or treat any disease or condition other than vertebral subluxation.

    However, if during the course of a chiropractic spinal examination, we encounter non-chiropractic or unusual findings we will advise you. If you desire advice, diagnosis or treatment for those findings, we will recommend that you seek the service of a health care provider who specializes in that area. Regardless of what the disease is called, we do not offer to treat it. Nor do we offer advice regarding treatment prescribed by others.

    OUR ONLY PRACTICE OBJECTIVE is to eliminate a major interference to the expression of the body’s innate wisdom. Our only method is specific adjusting to correct vertebral subluxations.

    All questions regarding the doctor’s objectives pertaining to my care in this office have been answered to my complete satisfaction.
    I therefore accept chiropractic care on this basis.
