Upon scheduling with out office, you will receive an emailed link that will allow you to fill out your paperwork prior to your first visit. If you would rather fill it out in person, you may certainly do so in our office prior to your scheduled appointment.

Upon admission to our clinic, and completion of the new patient paperwork entailed, we at Barnewolt & Barnewolt Chiropractic employ a very precise process by which we learn about you and your situation.
 

We will first conduct a Chiropractic consultation. This is basically an  interview, where we not only learn about the reason you came, but also  learn about you as an individual and other aspects of your life that may  contribute to the problem at hand.
 

From this consultation, we customize an exam designed to narrow down our  list into a small group of problems known as our “working diagnosis”.  Based on the results of both the consultation and exam, we decide if any  additional studies are necessary for treatment. These could include,  but are not limited to X-ray, MRI, CT, Ultrasound, blood or urine, and  many more.
 

Most patients receive X-rays, not only to exclude any more serious  problems from our list of concerns, but also to establish a “road map”  of your frame and structure, giving the Doctor an added advantage in  your treatment, which allows for a more speedy recovery.
 

Then, we present you with a report of findings. Here, we discuss the  results of the entire process by which we have diagnosed you; review  your x-rays with you; explain our conclusions; and outline a  personalized treatment plan designed to get you feeling better as soon  as possible. This treatment plan can include adjustments,  rehabilitation, stretches, exercises, nutritional consult, lifestyle  alterations, and others.
 

Your nervous system controls and mediates  every aspect related to the function of your body and its tissues. The  central nervous system is comprised of your brain and spinal cord, and  is housed within your skull and spinal column. It is the “computer” or  “mainframe” that makes all the decisions, and regulates all the  processes. Nerves then exit the spinal column via holes in your spine  called inter-vertebral foramina (IVFs) to relay the messages to  and from the brain/spinal cord. The IVF is composed of two bones, or  vertebrae, and the joints by which those bones move together.  

Anywhere you have a joint in your body,  you can have joint problems. Any time that you have joint problems, you  will typically have a varying degree of swelling and/or discomfort. The  IVF is for the most part, a set size and circumference. If there is any  degree of swelling in the tissues surrounding the joints of the IVF,  then that places the swelling in and around the tissues surrounding the  nerve itself. This causes pressure on the nerve, as it has nowhere else  to go.
 

Pressure on a nerve can cause its messages to become obscured. This can  cause pain, communication errors between brain and tissue, and,  therefore, flaws in the function of the tissue itself. This could  include the tissue of your heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, and all  other organs of your body. The pain you can experience can either be  defined at the joint causing the problem, or travel to other areas of  the body, based on the nerve being affected. questions, you have answers. Display the most frequently asked questions, so everybody benefits.

Our primary job as Chiropractors is to  locate joint dysfunction, known as a Subluxation, and correct it,  allowing the body to communicate effectively between brain and tissue.   This causes a natural healing process to commence. It is for this reason  that while most Chiropractic patients often come in for the remedy of  back/neck pain and headaches, they soon relate to us how the other  aspects of their health and wellness have been addressed. Although they  seem surprised when their blood pressure is better or their baby's  chronic ear infections have ceased without surgery, Chiropractors find  these responses to care common. It is in fact, why most Chiropractors do  what they do.
