Your First Visit to Our Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

We feel it is important for you to feel safe and comfortable especially on your first visit. At our office we have made every effort to have you feel at home with calming colors and a warm environment.

If you have filled out your paperwork already, we will discuss with you any questions you may have regarding chiropractic, fees or insurance. We make every effort to see patients immediately as your time is important.

Dr. Shaw will then sit down and discuss with you any of your healthcare concerns or questions and go over your health history. Included in the discussion, will be what a typical day looks like for you in terms of how your posture is and what stresses are on your body. If you have any previous x-rays, MRIs, CT scans or other reports, please bring them with you at this time.

Dr. Shaw will then perform an examination to determine exactly what is happening to your spine and nervous system. During this time, she will explain her findings and always has time for your questions.

Please give yourself 1 hour for this process as we try to be as thorough as possible. If you are in discomfort, Dr. Shaw will provide treatment to give you relief. It is typical for the doctor to call you after your initial adjustment to see how you are doing and ask if you have any concerns.

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.
