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...

    Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
    Ask most people in Santa Clara and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic patient knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.
    What's a side effect?
    It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
