Course of Treatment

Treatment is dictated by the diagnosis identified from a detailed consultation and thorough evaluation. The patient should expect a complete explanation of his/her condition. The doctor will propose a personal treatment plan with specific goals to decrease pain, improve flexibility, improve coordination, and improve joint mobility. However, our greatest goal is to restore your function for your natural ability to continue to pursue your life goals. We feel that a team approach to your care should always be a potential consideration for your maximum benefit, in the shortest period of time. This may be care coordinated, through your own physician, or one from Orthopedic Sports Medicine Consultants, located at our West Chester facility or another specialist depending on your needs.

Types of Treatment

During your chiropractic experience, you will receive chiropractic techniques, including spinal adjustments (with traditional manual techniques or low force techniques) physical therapy modalities including: ultrasound, decompression traction or various forms of electric stimulation. Other offered services include lifestyle recommendations, nutritional recommendations, exercise rehabilitation, and massage/myofascial release techniques. We also focus on advisement in the realm of natural healing and alternative measures. We have a certified athletic trainer on staff to assist in rehabilitation and exercise concerns.
