Regular Visit

Okay, the long visit is behind you now! 

Now after Kerry greets you, you will fill out a very short form rating your pain for that day and doing a small pain drawing showing us where your pain is that day.  Then you will go straight back to a treatment room.  Your typical chiropractic visit will only last 15-20 minutes, depending on what you care plan calls for each visit.  Some patients just get an adjustment and others get an adjustment, some type of therapy, and do some spinal exercises.  So it is somewhat variable, but much shorter than your 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.
