Your First Visit On your first visit, you can expect to have a conversation with Dr. Servais about what is bothering you.  It is important that Dr. Servais fully understands your health difficulties.  He will ask questions that relate to when your symptoms first started, what makes symptoms worse or better, severity of symptoms, and other related aspects of your injures.  He will ask you do to some simple range of motion activities to help him evaluate your health. After examining your posture, he may take some x-rays if necessary. At that point, Dr. Servais will talk to you about what he has found and what he recommends for treatment. If you are a candidate for chiropractic care, he can perform your first treatment on this visit. Of course, he won’t do anything without talking to you about it first and explaining what he is going to do.  It is imperative that you fully understand the cause of your complaints so that he can correct the problem and help in preventing any recurrence. If you are not a candidate for chiropractic care, Dr. Servais will refer you to some of the top doctors in our area who specialize in the care you need.  Dr. Servais works closely with medical specialists who can contribute to establishing a more concise diagnosis and treatment plan for you. When most people think of chiropractic care they generally think of adjustment or manipulation of the spine.  Manipulations are rendered to restore joint mechanics in spinal and extremity areas.  It is a precise procedure performed by a trained individual (Dr. Servais has over 20 years of experience).  This procedure will correct joint alignment/mobility, relieve associated muscle and nerve tension, improve balance and assist in healing.
