100% Chiropractic - Pasadena

At our chiropractic center our examination (Discovery) procedures are geared toward detection and correction of the Vertebral Subluxation. There are a couple of things that you should expect when you have a first visit at our clinic. The first part of this Initial Discovery will involve posture analysis. Posture is a window into the health of your nervous system. The doctor will explain how subluxations affect posture and the importance of a biomechanically stable spine. Bilateral weight-scales will measure if there are any spinal imbalances, objectively. The second part of the Discovery consists of a thorough spinal and nervous system exam which includes “Palpation”. Palpation essentially is checking your spine by hand. With this exam the doctor can feel areas of your spine that may be involved with subluxations problems. Spinal position, curvatures and muscle tone can also be examined as it relates to possible spinal subluxations. The third part of the Discovery may include X-rays. There are many reasons why we would not take x-rays on certain patients including pregnancy, young children, recent usable spinal x-rays and some other situations. Aside from these situations, x-rays are a common part of the examination process when looking for vertebral subluxations. X-rays give us important information including the position of the spinal bones, and the quality of the spine and safety of adjusting it. X-rays also tell us the relative length of time subluxations may have been involved in your spine. Commonly, most patients receive four spinal x-rays at the beginning of care. With this important information we can make a more accurate determination of the type of adjustments your spine needs as well as the ongoing frequency of your care. Your x-rays will be expect4explained to you in detail at your Empowerment Session. You will be scheduled for your Empowerment Session within a day of your initial visit. You will receive your first life-changing adjustment at this time. This visit is your most important visit and we encourage you to bring your spouse or loved ones. It is at these visits t hat we will give you a care plan and go over any special instructions you will need to obtain the best and fastest possible results. We have set aside specific times for these visits so as not to interfere with regular patient care hours. It is our philosophy to educate you and al low you to make your own health care decisions. Our Chiropractic Care utilizes the most modern chiropractic procedures and equipment available. We consider subluxations to be a serious threat to the quality and quantity of your health and that of your family. It is therefore imperative that we utilize the most modern, and the well established time-proven procedures to help you.

We treat our patients as individuals with unique habits, unique concerns, and unique bodies. There’s no one treatment approach that will work for everyone, so we start your program with a thorough analysis, and progress through treatment according to how your body responds to treatment. Some people’s spines adapt quickly, others more slowly: there’s no one right response to treatment, only your response. We’ll do everything we can to help you progress quickly, and we educate you to make choices outside our chiropractic office that aid in that progress, including walking you through insurance details and appointment cost. When you visit 100% Chiropractic, we want you to hold us to our 100% promise. That means your 100% satisfaction with your treatment plan, and 100% commitment to your own progress and healing–a commitment we share.
