Examination:

Dr. Crum will carefully examine the area of pain or discomfort in order to diagnose the problem. Expect a thorough examination. We want to help you achieve long term health. In order to avoid just treating symptoms your condition must be properly diagnosed with the help of a comprehensive examination.

Diagnosis:

Following the examination, Dr. Crum will discuss his diagnosis with you. He'll report what he has discovered during the examination and how those factors could be contributing to your current situation. Patients are encouraged to ask questions during their entire visit, but especially during this phase when the treatment plan is discussed. Patients who have not previously received chiropractic care can expect additional explanation from Dr. Crum to make sure they understand and are comfortable with the treatment he is recommending.

Treatment:

Dr. Crum practices Diversified Chiropractic, one of the most practiced methods of chiropractic care. Depending on your condition he may use any of the following therapy methods: Chiropractic manipulative therapy, massage, ice therapy, electro-therapy, therapeutic exercises/rehabilitation, supportive taping, ultrasound or if needed additional therapy options will be discussed.

Home Care:

Depending on your specific condition, Dr. Crum will also provide home care instructions and follow up recommendations to help you reach your goals. It is important to Dr. Crum that his patients understand what may have caused their condition and so he will offer recommendations to help prevent your condition from worsening or returning.
