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...

    Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
    Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
    Is average normal or is normal average?
    Every chiropractor knows that so-called "normal" is merely an average. What's normal for you may not be normal for anyone else. So the chiropractic approach to better health is to tailor our approach to the unique needs of each of our Santa Clara patients.
