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...

    If you have a fever, are you sick or healthy?
    Chiropractors love asking this question because it gets to the root of the chiropractic difference. Turns out fevers, vomiting, coughing and even sneezing are all healthy responses. It means your body is working correctly. Taking medications to suppress these natural processes can actually prolong your recovery.
    Which organs are extra?
    You don't have any spare parts. Sure, we can survive without our tonsils, appendix, gall bladder and several other tissues, but each serves a purpose. We chiropractors recognize this. So the chiropractic approach I use in Santa Clara is to reduce nerve interferences to the control and regulation of every tissue, organ and system of your body.
