Your First Visit

Consultation

The purpose of our initial consultation is to get to know each other, discuss your health concerns and see if you’re a good candidate for chiropractic care. We’ll ask a few questions and do a lot of listening. There is never a charge for the initial consultation in our office.

If we don’t think we can help, we’ll tell you. If we think we can help, and you agree, we can usually proceed to the next step, which is a thorough examination. Our patients appreciate the fact that we explain everything in advance.

Examination

If our consultation suggests that you’d likely be helped with chiropractic care, we’ll need to perform a complete examination. Our examination varies based upon what we discover during the evaluation of your health history. What we find will tell us which examinations we need to conduct.

  • Orthopedic - These examinations test your ability to turn, bend and move key joints of your skeletal system through their expected range of motion.

  • Neurological – We’ll test your nerve pathways, deep tendon reflexes, muscle strength and other aspects pointing to the health of your  nervous system.

  • Chiropractic – These tests can include postural evaluations, static and dynamic palpation and other procedures to reveal neurological problems.

  • X-ray – Diagnostic imaging can help locate any bone abnormalities, allow analysis and measurement of spinal joint positioning, rule out the presence of fractures and reveal your spines phase of spinal decay.

Dr. Joseph Asks some important questions of interest to S. Ozone Park residents - Chiropractor S. Ozone Park Dr. Joseph Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
