We’ll tell you. If chiropractic is not the right option for you, we will have that conversation.

As doctors, we need to recognize when chiropractic care fits your needs and when another healthcare provider should become involved.

That starts with a thorough history and examination. When appropriate, digital X-rays can give us additional information and help us decide whether chiropractic care makes sense, whether we need to modify our approach, or whether you should receive further evaluation first.

If your needs fall outside the scope of our care, we won’t pretend otherwise.

Healthcare Is a Team Sport

Over the years, we’ve built relationships with physical therapists, orthopedic specialists, pain management providers, imaging facilities, and other healthcare professionals.

If your examination suggests that you need an MRI, other diagnostic testing, or an evaluation with another provider, we’ll help you determine the next step.

Another provider may need to take the lead. Chiropractic care may still fit into a broader healthcare plan. In some cases, chiropractic simply isn’t the right place to begin.

Your health matters more to us than keeping every part of your care inside our office.

Chiropractic Doesn’t Have to Compete With Other Healthcare

We don’t believe healthcare has to be either/or.

You may benefit from chiropractic care while also working with a physical therapist, primary care physician, orthopedic specialist, pain management provider, or another healthcare professional.

Each provider brings a different area of expertise.

As chiropractors, we focus on the relationship between the spine, movement, and nervous system.

I often describe the nervous system as the motherboard of the body because the brain, spinal cord, and nerves form a communication network that supports movement, sensation, coordination, and many other normal body functions.

That’s why chiropractors pay close attention to the spine and nervous system.

At the same time, we don’t believe chiropractic is the answer to every health problem.

It isn’t.

Good healthcare requires us to understand our role, recognize when another provider’s expertise can help, and keep your needs at the center of every decision.

Good Doctors Know When to Refer

When chiropractic care fits your needs, we’ll explain why.

When another provider should become involved, we’ll explain that too.

If you need additional testing before we can make a recommendation, we’ll tell you.

We don’t view a referral as a failure.

We view it as good healthcare.

Our goal isn’t to prove that chiropractic is the answer.

Our goal is to help you find the right answer for you.
