What Can You Expect From A Visit To Our Clinic?

First, enjoy our state of the art facility. Once all paper work is filled in (see Patient Forms) the doctor will begin with a thorough examination and will assess your areas of concern, as well as carefully considering your health history.

Dr. Kennedy is trained in x-ray techniques and in order to make an accurate diagnosis may ask x-rays of your back and neck. Only after this initial examination will she offer a recommended course of treatment. Based on the analysis of your initial examination, your treatment could consist of chiropractic adjustments, therapies and rehabilitation.

At Kennedy Chiropractic Clinic our examinations procedures are geared toward detection and correction of the "Vertebral Subluxation". The procedures we use are therefore specifically selected for your spine and nervous system health. There are a couple of things that you should expect when you have a first visit at our clinic.

Our Examinations

Exams consist of a thorough spinal and nervous system exam which includes "Palpation". Palpation essentially is checking your spine by hand. With this exam the doctor can feel areas of your spine that may be involved with subluxation problems.

Spinal X-Rays

X-rays may be taken depending on your age and situation. There are many reasons why we would not take x-rays on certain patients including pregnancy, most children, recent usable spinal x-rays and some other situations.

X-rays give us important information including the position of the spinal bones, the quality of the spine and safety of adjusting it. With this important information we can make a more accurate determination of the type of adjustments your spine needs as well as the initial frequency of your care.

Your x-rays will be explained to you in detail at your Report of Findings.

Report of Findings

Within a few days of your initial visit, you will be scheduled for an evaluation, which may take up to one hour. It is at your Report of Findings that we will give you a care plan and go over any special instructions you will need to obtain the best and fastest possible results.
