When Should You Consult A Chiropractor
At Forest Hills Rehabilitation?
Our chiropractors diagnose and treat "neuromusculoskeletal" injuries and pain. For the most part - pain, numbness, or tingling anywhere in your body makes you a possible candidate.
Patients with such symptoms comprise the bulk of our chiropractic practice and as such, our chiropractors enjoy a high rate of success. Thousands of patients like you have consulted the chiropractors at Forest Hills Rehabilitation for conditions such as:
* acute or chronic low back pain - including sacroiliac problems
* acute or chronic mid back pain
* acute or chronic neck pain
* headaches (tension and migraine)
* pain radiating to arms or legs
* sciatica
* carpal tunnel syndrome
* acute mechanical injuries
* acute or chronic overuse related pain syndromes
We focus on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions that have strong evidence for the effectiveness of chiropractic care. We use scientifically sound concepts to evaluate the effectiveness of our treatment for each patient as we determine whether to continue care, discharge, or refer to another type of doctor.
Our chiropractors use very mainstream, scientifically valid examination procedures, including standard orthopedic testing, range of motion assessments, and palpation (both dynamic and static).
We use very broadly-accepted, mainstream manual adjusting techniques and stationary tables. We are willing to incorporate any scientifically valid physiotherapy procedures that we are licensed to provide if we think they will cost-effectively hasten your recovery.
We feel an ethical obligation to do everything we can to help you avoid repeat episodes of your problem or to help you have less chronic pain, which is why we place a high priority on exercise, biomechanics, and other educational preventive measures.
How Long Will It Take?
Conditions are as individual as people. Obviously a 15 year old boy with no health problems will recover faster from a low back sprain, than an 80 year old diabetic, with the same injury. Healing times vary and there are many circumstances affecting your rate of recovery. Years of experience helps our doctors to establish a diagnosis and prognosis specifically for you based on your particular situation, compared to our experiences treating similar conditions. Only a professional can make that assessment. Following your comprehensive history and examination, we will provide you a written protocol before initiating treatment, thus allowing you to be better informed from the very beginning.
