AREAS OF OPERATION

WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic is a system analysis where we look to find dysfunction or disorder in a human body. We simply try to restore proper movement/function to allow the body to perform as it was designed using spinal manipulation.
Spinal Manipulation
Chiropractic has a unique place in health care as we are able to utilize a variety of natural health services for our patients rather than limiting ourselves to a specific treatment protocol. One of the services we offer is spinal manipulative therapy, which is what people commonly refer to as chiropractic “adjustments”. An “adjustment” is a fast, yet gentle, thrusting movement performed to areas of the spine that are fixated, painful, in spasm or just not moving properly. By restoring proper motion, the joints can move freely through their full, natural range thus relieving unwanted stress on the surrounding soft tissue, bony structures, and nervous system. This is a very effective method for reducing pain and stiffness, improving overall function and athletic abilities, as well as to help prevent future problems during the aging process. Results are best when paired with spine strengthening protocols. Dr. Ackerson is proficient in many techniques; Diversified, Thompson Drop, Activator Method, Webster, and Extremities.
The First Visit
- Upon Dr. Ackerson’s arrival, New patient intake forms will be filled out. Be prepared to discuss your health history, current needs, and goals. Complete the medical intake form as thoroughly as possible. A “Informed Consent” agreement will be provided and must be signed before treatment begins.
- Please be available 5-10 mins before your scheduled appointment. You will receive a confirmation text message the day of your appointment.
- To prepare for your initial visit with Dr. Ackerson please wear comfortable, loose clothing. He will provide a comprehensive exam and if no red flags are found, Dr. Ackerson will treat you at this first visit. Please allow about 20-30 minutes.
Do I Have to Go Forever?
It’s a commonly held belief that once you start going to a chiropractor you have to go for the rest of your life. That’s just not true. “I always ask patients what their goals are for care and aim to help them meet those goals. I never have someone commit to chiropractic care for the rest of their life,” says Dr. Ackerson. He typically will want to establish care by seeing a patient 1 time a week for 2-4 weeks, unless the injury or pain deems for more frequent care. It is his goal to see patients on maintenance care once every 4-6 weeks. The other option is you can book an appointment with him as needed. The truth is Dr. Ackerson will give his recommendation every time you have an appointment but it really is your decision.

A word from the Doc…
I believe the human body has the innate ability to heal itself and adapt to the stresses placed on it. I like to use a “back to the basics” approach to care which creates a stronger and more stable foundation for a patient’s health by addressing one’s overall wellness. By becoming familiar with the structure and nervous system of an individual through adjustments and soft tissue therapy, building a stronger foundation in an individual through rehabilitative exercises and lifestyle modifications, many “illnesses” and “conditions” can be prevented. With that being said, I am by no means professionally biased and do not believe chiropractic care is the answer for everything. If I feel I cannot help with one’s current condition or ailments, I would be thrilled to discuss other options for the patient and guide them in the right direction.
