What To Expect

Consultation and Exam

Consultations can be booked with Drs. Blair Schmaus and Aurora Ongaro.

This initial visit is designed to determine if we can help. To do so, the doctors will ask questions to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to ascertain how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Following that conversation, a complete chiropractic examination will be performed. This testing includes appropriate neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

Pre treatment X-rays

If the consultation determined that a postural distortion (spinal misalignment) is present and you are a good candidate for care, very specific NUCCA X-rays are performed. The doctor will then analyze these films to calculate a precise and customized adjustment that can impact the whole spine.

1st Adjustment Visit & Report of Findings

After the x-ray analysis, we will review and explain any issues we have found. At this point, you will receive your first upper cervical correction. This precise and gentle adjustment will help restore your body’s function and ultimately your health.

Following your adjustment, your posture will be re-assessed. If sufficient postural improvement is seen, a post treatment x-ray will be performed to determine the amount of correction that was achieved.

The doctor will then sit down with you to do a full x-ray review and address the changes you can expect in the next few days.

Follow - up care

We want to help you get well and live life to the fullest as soon as possible. We will design a care plan for you that will help to restore function and health. You will experience changes throughout your body as you move through the 3 phases of care (Correction, Healing and Stabilization). We will continue to monitor your improvement to ensure results.

We encourage you to learn more about the NUCCA method, so please feel free to ask one of our doctors about NUCCA and how it may help to alleviate your symptoms.
