Your daily activities, physical demands, and health history all play a role in the conversation. Dr. Dorough considers these factors when discussing chiropractic services that may be appropriate for you.

Dr. Dorough takes time to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and what you’ve been experiencing in everyday life. He then evaluates your posture, movement, and areas of concern to determine whether chiropractic treatment is right for you.
You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions, review his findings, and discuss any suggested next steps. Recommendations are based on your circumstances, not a standard treatment schedule.

Can chiropractic care help with back or neck pain?
Back pain, neck stiffness, and shoulder tension are common reasons adults seek chiropractic treatment. Dr. Dorough considers your symptoms and health history when discussing possible treatment options.
What if I’ve had spine surgery or have other health conditions?
Dr. Dorough’s practice welcomes patients with a wide range of physical abilities and health histories, including some who have undergone spinal surgery or have implants. Whether chiropractic treatment is suitable depends on your medical history and individual circumstances.
