First Visit

When you walk into our Abbeville office you will receive a warm welcome from Kerry.  She will greet you and get you started on filling out the paperwork needed to get you started on the road to recovery.

You'll be warmly greeted at the front desk of our Abbeville office.

Next you will watch a short video that explains a little about chiropractic care and how it is going to benefit you and then you will meet with Dr. Durham.  You will have the opportunity to add any additional information that you might feel would be helpful to your care and ask any questions that you may have at this point (you can always ask more later if you forget one!) Dr. Durham may also ask some additional questions as well. Based on your condition and your history, Dr. Durham will perform a thorough evaluation to find the exact cause of your condition.

Next any additional tests will be performed, such as X-rays, MRI, or labwork.  Some tests are done here in the office and others are done at other facilities.  If no outside testing is necessary we will study the results of your evaluation and formulate a care plan specifically for you and present our findings to you.  If we feel that our treatment could be of benefit to you, you will be given the opportunity to begin care.  If not we will discuss your other options for care elsewhere.  If you elect to begin care, Kerry will discuss several ways that we make it affordable to regain your health here with us.

You should plan on being here with us for about an hour on this first visit.

Dr. Durham Asks some important questions of interest to Abbeville residents - Chiropractor Abbeville Dr. Durham Asks...

Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Abbeville chiropractic practice.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Abbeville office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
