Taking the Time for Customized and Thorough Care

Each patient at Harvey Family Chiropractic is prescribed specific therapies most appropriate for their condition.  With a variety of focused treatments, you'll find relief faster and have better long-term outcomes.  By correcting the cause of your condition along with contributing factors, you're less likely to have your problem return.

Initial Exams & Second Visits

The first two appointments at Harvey Family Chiropractic run an hour or more.  We want to take the time to listen to our patients!  During the first exam, we document a thorough 30 minute case history.  We try to put all the pieces of the health puzzle together in respect to:  neurology, organ function, mental health, exposure to physical, chemical and emotional stressors.  We also evaluate:  exercise, diet, sleep patterns and many other additional factors.  Each patient is given a detailed report on the findings in conjunction with a customized treatment plan.

Subsequent Visits

Most follow-up appointments run 15-30 minutes and are always one-on-one with the doctor.  We work on the entire body on every visit- feet, knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and everything from the sacrum through the cranial bones.  Our emphasis is on educating patients so they really learn about correcting organ dysfunctions, nerve interference and muscle imbalances.

What Makes Harvey Family Chiropractic Different?

* Less is More – We’re able to minimize the visits with the thoroughness of our care.  Fewer visits to the chiropractor is a major theme as patients are educated how to maintain and improve their bodies.
* Faster Results – We focus on getting people on the road to wellness in as little time as possible.  One of our primary goals is to get patients into maintenance care within two-months.  Maintinence care is achieved when the patient can hold an adjustment for two - four weeks.  This becomes possible because we train our patients how to manage posture and overcome muscle imbalances.

* Additional Options – We employ 8-10 different techniques at Harvey Family Chiropractic.  Our patients know we can always do an adjustment differently in respect to their comfort level.  Below are some of our more commonly-used adjustment methods
*  Thompson Technique: A chiropractic adjustment performed on a table in which the supporting cushions drop an inch or two when a thrust is applied to the spine.
*  Diversified Technique: The classic chiropractic technique used to adjust the spine and extremity joints.  Uses specific manual thrusts focused on restoring normal biomechanical function.
*  Activator Method: Uses the Activator Adjusting Instrument instead of hand adjustments to give consistent mechanical low-force, high-speed clicks to the body.
*  Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (BEST): A method that involves measuring leg length to determine whether imbalances exist in the body's electromagnetic field.  The chiropractor corrects these imbalances by placing his hands on certain contact points to transfer electromagnetic energy to the patient.

What Should You Look to Avoid When Choosing a Healthcare Provider?

* Clinics set up for the cattle call - patients coming in off the street and herded up for quick, impersonal treatment
* Lack of a truly thorough exam by the doctor.  Exams should include complete history, neurological testing, orthopedic testing, reflexes, ranges of motion, and x-rays, if necessary
* A doctor that fails to listen to all of the patients symptoms and concerns carefully
* A one-size-fits-all program for every patient
* Prepay plans
* Quick exams, with the patient being “scanned” by a fancy marketing device

What are Some Common Treatment Mistakes to Avoid?

* Lack of assessment
* Failure to properly diagnose
* Performing the same adjustments on everybody with minimal analysis
* Lack of follow through with lifestyle related information, other than to sell unnecessary products or supplements
* No change in workplace ergonomics, exercises, stretches, nutrition, or stress levels
