Posture pictures will be taken, then Dr. South will have a consultation with you concerning your history and present condition, followed by an examination and X-rays (if needed). The X-rays are done in our office.
Usually, Dr. South will not adjust on the first visit. He wants to study the results of the examination and X-rays (if they were taken).
Every 12 visits, Dr. South performs a progress examination and compares the results to your previous exam.
Dr. South tailors a treatment plan specific to your needs. This includes specific adjustments. If curves need to be re-established in the spine, traction will be done in the office. Dr. South may also prescribe home traction and home exercises that are done daily.
Comfortable clothes, if X-rays are needed, any jewelry in the neck area that can be removed should be. Bras will need to be removed if they contain adjustable straps, hooks, or underwire.
X-rays will be taken if Dr. South finds subluxations (spinal misalignments) or postural deviations. X-rays will not be taken if the patient is pregnant.
Dr. South uses several different techniques to adjust the patients’ spine, including specific upper cervical, Chiropractic BioPhysics(CBP), Drop Table adjusting using Merric, Gonstead, Mirror Imaging, and other techniques.
Dr. South also provides nutritional support, including vitamins and exercises. He also provides Veterinary Osteopathic Manipulation (V.O.M.) for your pets.
