Women's Health Issues & Concerns
Women and men have some of the same health concerns. However, women face many health problems unique to them and these are usually of a more serious concern to women than men. Doctors of Chiropractic have always recognized this and have researched, developed, and provided treatment options specifically aimed at women's health needs. Because of this, more women than men regularly rely on chiropractic care.
Also, most women tend to have a heightened awareness of their physical condition and are more accustomed to seeking help from health professionals than their male counterparts. In fact, women spend three out of four all healthcare dollars and determine much of the health choices for their family. In exploring chiropractic's role in women's health, more and more women are searching for alternatives to the use of drugs and surgery to solve their healthcare problems.

What You Can Expect From Us
The first thing our doctor will do is to meet with you to begin a long-term medical relationship, a relationship that you can rely on for all of your health and wellness needs.
On your first visit, the doctor will ask a series of questions relative to your medical history so we can build a personal health and wellness program that is personalized for you.
-- The doctor will want to know if you are having any acute health problems at the present time; what, if anything, have you done to alleviate the problem(s) or pain, medications, other treatments, etc.
-- Based on the information you provide to the doctor about your current acute health problem(s), the doctor will do an examination to determine the exact diagnosis and make any immediate necessary adjustments.
-- The doctor will then discuss a course of treatment to stabilize your acute problem(s) over a certain term.
-- Additionally, the doctor will also discuss a course of treatment, perhaps a nutritional plan, or other holistic treatments that would be appropriate to follow to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
-- Ongoing visits to maintain good health will be scheduled and you will be invited to attend our educational programming series .
