Evaluation versus online diagnosis
A Website Cannot Examine You
Symptom checkers and search results work by matching words. An examination works by observing how you actually move, what reproduces your symptoms, what your history adds, and what the findings rule out.
That difference matters most when two people describe the same thing for different reasons. Everything on these pages is written to help you have a better conversation, not to hand you a conclusion.
Urgent care guidance
Some Symptoms Need Care Sooner Than an Appointment
A chiropractic evaluation is not the right first step for everything. Seek emergency or urgent medical care for the following.
- Chest pain or difficulty breathing
- Stroke-like symptoms, including face drooping or slurred speech
- A sudden, severe headache or the worst headache you have had
- New or worsening weakness, or loss of consciousness
- Loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness in the saddle area
- Significant trauma, suspected fracture, or inability to bear weight
- Fever together with severe pain
- Rapidly worsening neurological symptoms
Call 911 for anything that may be an emergency, or contact your physician promptly for symptoms that are new, severe, or changing quickly.
This website does not provide emergency care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.

Advanced option
Shockwave Therapy
A non-surgical soft-tissue option discussed only when an evaluation supports it.

Before you book
Frequently Asked Questions
Not from a website. Similar symptoms can come from very different causes, so the useful step is an individual evaluation that looks at your history, movement, and function.
No. Describing what you are experiencing and what you have had to stop doing is more useful than naming a condition.
No. Some findings call for imaging, medical assessment, or referral to another provider, and that will be said plainly if it applies to you.
A conversation about your concerns, a review of your history, an examination appropriate to what you describe, and a plain-language discussion of reasonable next steps.
Not automatically. Whether anything is done on the first visit depends on the examination findings and on your decision after they are explained.
Coverage and payment questions are answered directly by the office. Call or text and the current process will be explained to you.
