A Typical Office Visit

After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length.

Avoid relapse with regular visits.

The average office visit is 15-20 minutes but obviously can be longer depending on which therapy is used.

The typical office visit involves discussing your present status...

  • How are you feeling?
  • Are you experiencing any discomfort?
  • Are there any questions?
  • Dr. Shaw always encourages questions; the more you know about your body the better you will treat it.

    The actual treatment includes the chiropractic adjustment and is usually preceeded by a therapy which will relax the muscles. The therapy options included electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, massage therapy, intersegmental traction and aquatic massage. It is also important for people to strengthen the region so we also offer neuromuscular reeduation.

    Dr. Shaw Asks some important questions of interest to Santa Clara residents - Chiropractor Santa Clara Dr. Shaw Asks...

    How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
    Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
    How long does it take to form a bone spur?
    Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
