"We invite you to Experience the Difference of
Upper Cervical Care!"
Our team at Mountain State Wellness believes that every person has a
very important and unique purpose to fulfill during this lifetime. We
are committed to enhancing your life with whole body wellness so you can achieve

upper cervical spinal correction can change your life too!
 |
As a potential member of Mountain State Wellness, we want to
familiarize you with the process of accepting you as a member in
our practice. Once you decide to be evaluated by the doctor,
you simply need to call Kathy or Stacy and allow our team to
assist you in scheduling an appointment. They will request some
basic information and explain the process of establishing you as
a new member. |
|
Typically, the first visit to Mountain State Wellness is in two parts...one part in the
morning and one part in the afternoon. During the
morning visit, you will be asked to complete some short
forms about you, your current health status and any
previous health issues you have experienced.
Then, Stacy will gladly show you around our office,
highlighting several important features, so you can feel
comfortable when you are here. When your tour is
finished, Stacy will discuss the financial aspects of
your care. Once you understand and agree to the terms of
our care, you will then begin your visit with the
doctor.

During the morning visit, the doctor will review
your health history, perform a spinal examination which includes
surface electromyography (sEMG), posture analysis, spinal
palpation and range of motion, and a series of pre-adjustment
3-dimensional x-rays of your cervical spine. Once the doctor has
collected all of the information that is needed to care for you,
Kathy will give you some educational items and remind you of
your afternoon appointment. At this time, you are finished with
your morning visit and we hope you are greatly anticipating your
afternoon appointment.
|
| Upon returning to our office to experience your first upper
cervical spinal correction, you may be asked to remain in the
reception area until the doctor is ready. If you are fortunate
enough to be seated in the reception area, we highly encourage
you to read some of our "Patient Stories" located in
the binder. We are confident that you will find these
testimonies to be very encouraging and maybe some day you will
share your success story with other members of our practice.
During the afternoon visit, the doctor will report to you what
he/she has discovered with your history, exam, and x-rays
and discuss with you the expectations of your care. Next, the
doctor will perform your first upper cervical spinal
correction. During the spinal correction, you will be
positioned on your side with your head supported in a very
specific fashion. The doctor will use their hands to apply a
light pressure to the upper area of your neck. |

Do not worry...it is a very gentle process!Upper
cervical care does not involve any jerking, twisting, snapping
or popping of your head, neck or spine. In fact, many people
describe the process as very relaxing and some people fall
asleep during the adjustment. Once the doctor has determined
that a favorable correction has been performed, the doctor will
then perform a series of post-adjustment x-rays to verify proper
alignment. While the doctor is evaluating your post-adjustment
x-rays, you will be asked to rest in the "Restoration Room". We
encourage patients to rest after the spinal correction because
it helps the body to adapt to the changes and allows you to
begin the recovery process. |
When the doctor has determined that he/she has accomplished the best
spinal correction possible, Kathy will schedule a one week check-up to
monitor your improvements. Please remember that your recovery may take
some time but the best way to ensure a quick and complete recovery is
to follow the doctor's recommendations and maintain patience and a
positive attitude!
We are very excited to care for you and your family and we know that
when you experience the difference of upper cervical care, you will want
to share this amazing type of healthcare with all your family and
friends!
