Aurora chiropractors pride themselves on focusing on the functional correction of muscular skeletal disorders. Our examinations include a differential diagnosis of our patient's condition and a well-rounded treatment plan with established goals or plateau's in treatment.

If though our comprehensive examination we recognize a systemic or organic illness, we make the necessary referral back to the primary care physician or specialist. In treating muscular and skeletal pain we focus on the restoration or normal flexibility of the muscle groups and improving joint function.

We provide complete chiropractic care for:

• Arthritis
• Back pain
• Disc conditions
• Headaches
• Knee or ankle pain
• Neck pain
• Pinched nerves
• Sciatica treatment
• Shoulder or arm pain
• Spinal stenosis

What will a doctor of chiropractic do for me?

Your chiropractor will review your health history and perform an examination to assess the function of your bones, joints, nerves and muscles. If clinically indicated this may include X-ray and other laboratory tests may also be used.

The principle treatment method of chiropractic care is the use of manipulation of the spine and other joints of the body. This procedure is used to restore normal joint motion and promote proper function between the joints and the nervous system. Emphasis is also placed on restoring function and flexibility of muscles that may cause strain to the joints.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

Patients seeking chiropractic care do not need a referral from another physician. The chiropractor will communicate fully with other providers of your health care with your consent. When appropriate, your chiropractor will refer you to other physicians, as well as accept referrals from other health care professionals. Check with your insurance company for the specific details of your policy.

What other therapies are offered?

Your chiropractor may use other therapies to improve overall health. These may include the use of heat, cold, ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation. In addition to these therapies, diet, nutritional counseling, along with education about vitamins, herbs and minerals, that may be an important aspect of your plan of care.
