What chiropractic techniques are used?
Dr. Kerr has training in activator, CBP, webster, and diversified technique. The individualized needs and preferences of each patient are considered when choosing which technique to use for adjustments.
What to expect on a first visit?
The first visit is extensive lasting 2-2.5 hours. This is the longest you will ever spend with a doctor one on one. The approach to the first visit is to paint the whole picture on a blank canvas. No detail of your health is unimportant because it all plays a role in your current health state. The first visit includes a postural assessment, extensive history, lifestyle assessment, kinesiology session, chiropractic adjustment, and nutritional assessment.
The day of your first visit, please hold off on taking nutritional supplements until after your appointment.
What to bring on a first visit?
Please fill out all required forms prior to your visit. If you are unable to fill them out prior to visit, please arrive 15 min prior to session to fill out paperwork. Please bring all current supplementation and/or medications, current footwear, mouth guard if applicable, and any previous lab work or imaging. Even if you have a duffle bag of supplements, we would like to review the brand and dosage you are current taking with you.
Any recommendations for the first visit?
The first visit is a marathon so you need to show up well nourished and HYDRATED!
Following the first visit, patients are recommended to not plan too much the day of the first visit. It is best for patients to be able to have a lighter day of activity so that the work from the first visit can integrate in their system.
What do you do for the nutritional assessment?
We will discuss your past and current eating habits. I will utilize muscle testing and laboratory testing in immunology and cell biology to create a personalized treatment and prevention plan.
What is the appointment schedule following the first visit?
Each patient care plan is based uniquely on status of primary complaint. There isn’t a cookie cutter care plan in our office. If the patient is having acute pain, the doctor might opt to see them a few times closer together like one visit every week or two. Once patients get out of acute condition, the visit schedule might space out to every 4-6 weeks. Each patient has unique needs to reach wellness goals. Visit schedule is based on a the need of the individual.
Can I expect the same thing almost every visit?
You will never have a duplicate visit. Each time you show up to the office, you show up in a different state in which your body has been adapting to your environment, stress, diet, and exercise routine. Each and every visit will be unique in the work that is done because your body is constantly changing! Our body is like an onion, it has layers and layers of adaptation from different life stresses. Kinesiology allows us to peel back one layer of the onion at a time to get down to the root cause of dysfunction and/or disease.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations are required 24 hours prior to appointment. If the appointment is on a Monday, appointments need to be cancelled no later Friday at 5pm. A $180 fee will be charged for all appointments cancelled in less than 24 hours.
