Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations and to determine how chiropractic/colon hydrotherapy care can meet your goals. Our patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance. That's good because our goal is to offer state-of-the-art chiropractic care in a comfortable setting surrounding. Your history and future goals for health will be recorded. During the consultation, you will obtain a general understanding of proper dietary needs, postural concerns, nutritional needs, etc.. Once you've agreed to proceed, you will receive a general vitals examination. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr. Noey will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your range of motion, reflexes, flexibility, neurological, orthopedic, and postural. However, nothing will be done in our office without your consent. Our patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance. Our goal is to offer state-of-the-art chiropractic care in a comfortable setting.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close.
X-RAYS and most lab tests can be taken, in the office, the same day.
Chiropractic
Your first Chiropractic session will be approximately 1 hour, thereafter
15-25 minutes.). After a Chiropractic exam, you will generally return the next day for a report of findings and the beginning of care. On that day, a care plan is developed based on your health goals.
Custom Treatment Plan
After your detailed consultation and examination, Dr. Noey will study your
X-rays and will develop a custom treatment plan based on your goals and needs. On your second visit Dr. Noey will go over your plan in detail and answer any questions you may have.

We'll spend 15 minutes reviewing our findings with you offering answers to the four questions most patients have when they consult our office:
-
What’s wrong?
-
Can chiropractic help?
-
How long will it take?
-
How much will it cost?

After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, Dr. Noey will make recommendations and you'll be presented with some choices:

Ignore the problem hoping it will resolve

Treatment
At the conclusion of the second appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include physical therapy, soft tissue therapy such as Active Release Techniques, spinal adjustments and home exercises. Treatment is interactive, so feel free to ask as many questions as you like.
Regular Visits
After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length. In a word: no. A typical office visit may require just 15-25 minutes. But don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, we can quickly size up the condition of your spine and nervous system, Pain, Pain during Pregnancy, Rotator Cuff Injury, Sciatica (shooting leg pain), Shoulder Pain, TMJ Syndrome (jaw pain), Whiplash Injury (motor vehicle collision injury), Foot Pain, and more.
A regular visit may include heat/ ice, electric stimulation, Active Release Techniques, Chiropractic adjustments, and rehabilitation exercises. Initial Consultation, Auto Injury Rehabilitation, Spinal and Orthopedic exam, Posture Correction, X-Rays Spinal Adjustments, Extremity Adjustments, Exercise Rehabilitation, Manual Soft Tissue Therapy, Custom Orthotics, Injury Rehabilitation- Children and Adults.
Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds on the ones before. Miss a visit and you can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes. We provide regular re-evaluations for progress of care and honest recommendations that honor your health goals.

Through each and every session, you will be assisted by fully trained, experienced female Certified Colon Hydrotherapists. The water pressure of the hydrotherapy device is adjusted to suit your comfort. Disposable materials are used and we use no chemicals or stimulants. The procedure is painless, relaxing, and most effective in cleansing the bowel. Many are amazed at how easy and comfortable this procedure is. The results are incredible.
The Colonic Irrigation Procedure
A colonic is much more effective that a home enema, as it clears the whole length of the colon whereas the enema can only reach the lower parts of the colon, though still doing a very good job.
Looking after your colon is essential to your overall holistic health. Don’t neglect this part of the body. Although often overlooked compared to other areas of your health, the colon plays a very important role in the function of the whole body. It has major effects on all other organs of the body. So a poor colon means a poor liver, heart, kidney and skin.
Our increasingly “fast-food nation” diet in the Western world, means we are eating more and more toxic food and as pollution continues to increase, we are breathing increasing amounts of toxins.
Massage Therapy
Your first visit will typically take a little longer than regular appointments. You will be asked to completed a confidential health history form and your Massage Therapist will ask you a number of questions related to your condition as well as your general health history. This will help your therapist determine the best care for you.
Therapists usually ask new patients about symptoms, medical history, and desired results. They may also perform an evaluation through touch, to locate painful or tense areas and determine how much pressure to apply.
Typically, the patient lies on a table, either in loose-fitting clothing or undressed (covered with a sheet, except for the area being massaged). The therapist may use oil or lotion to reduce friction on the skin. Sometimes, people receive massage therapy while sitting in a chair. A massage session may be fairly brief, but may also last an hour or even longer.
