Your First Visit to Our Vernon Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

Your first visit will be a wonderful experince. After meeting our friendly, helpful staff you will fill out a complete patient history. This will alert us to any special needs or concerns that you may have.

You will then enjoy a 10-minute relaxation massage to help you relax and prepare your body to heal. The doctor will then spend some personal time with you, reviewing current and past health problems and talking about how chiropractic works. A physical exam is then done, including looking at your posture and how well you can (or can't) move, as well as any other tests that are deemed necessary.

Treatment, including massage, mobilization, stretching and chiropractic adjustments, will first be explained to you, then carried out. Any questions or concerns are always resolved before treatment. We always make sure that you are comfortable before proceeding.

We also believe strongly in referral. If your problem is not mechanical, or can be helped better by another health practitioner, or in conjunction with them, we will let you know and send you to the right place.

Dr. Michael Asks some important questions of interest to Vernon residents - Chiropractor Vernon Dr. Michael Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Where do most Vernon residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Vernon newborn.
