What to Expect
The very first thing that Dr. Jon K. Heyer, DC, the chiropractor at Holistic Health & Chiropractic of Frankfort, does with each new patient is a chiropractic consultation to determine if he can help this individual with their particular case. Then he performs a thorough, head to toe, chiropractic assessment of each new patient and determines what the underlying cause of their condition is.
The thorough examination includes a range of motion study, orthopedic and muscle tests and X rays if needed. Dr. Heyer uses a very special diagnostic tool called a surface electromyography machine. That’s a complicated name for a very simple and painless test that helps to measure imbalances in the spinal muscles due to stress.
Once the underlying cause(s) have been determined and that the patient is a good candidate for the types of treatment used at Holistic Health & Chiropractic of Frankfort, Dr. Heyer will design a care plan based on the patient's goals in preparation for their first chiropractic adjustment.
Typically, there are three phases of care depending on the patient’s goal.
Phase One: Pain Relief
Almost everyone that comes into our office is dealing with some type of pain or symptom. And it’s our goal to get that person feeling and functioning better and back to their normal, daily routine as quickly as possible.
Phase Two: Spinal Rehab & restoration
Some individuals will require more treatment than others, especially if there has been years of spinal neglect, degeneration and simply put… wear and tear on that person’s spine and body. This second phase focuses on improving flexibility, balance, coordination, and stabilizing the muscles of the body once the pain and discomfort has been reduced. This gives the patient a better chance of long-term relief.
Phase Three: Maintaining Alignment Through Tune-Ups
Because life continues to knock us down and some of our joints are more worn out than others, Dr. Heyer often will recommend adopting a proactive approach of getting a chiropractic tune up on a weekly or monthly basis. This is in addition to the exercises the individual learned during phase two. Think of exercises like flossing for the spine just as a dentist encourages brushing and flossing between dental checkups.
