Severns Family Chiropractic

About us

Welcome and thank you for visiting my chiropractic home on the Internet. My mission is to facilitate healing in a caring and friendly environment. I utilize a common sense approach in arriving at your diagnosis, educating you about your condition, and providing you with practical advice and customized care. I emphasize exercise and self-treatment to speed recovery and prevent relapse. Treatment works in 3 stages: Consultation The purpose of the consultation is twofold: First, the doctor will review your case history, so that we can gain a thorough understanding of your current goals. Second, it will begin the patient-education process. It is important for you to understand how your treatment program is intended to work, permanently healing the cause of your problem, rather than simply masking symptoms with prescription drugs. Examination During the examination, the doctor will assess not only the cause of your complaint, but the condition of your spine. You'll be asked to turn and bend, your posture will be checked, your reflexes and muscle strength will be tested, and other orthopedic and neurological tests may be performed. These tests are designed to show if any areas of your spine are causing problems. Our intention is to treat your body as a whole entity. During this process, we often discover underlying problems that have not yet shown up as a symptom. Some of the tests may be familiar to you, for example, checking reflexes and ranges of motion. Other tests are specific to chiropractic. None of them involves any discomfort to the patient. Adjustment Chiropractic adjustment is the method with which we realign the vertebrae, thereby relieving any pressure on the nervous system and restoring normal nerve function. The doctor will adjust almost all of his new patients on their first visit, and the healing process begins immediately. Your health today is the result of your habits, your thoughts, your actions and all the circumstances of your life. Little can be done about the past, but we're here to help with your future. Because there is a reciprocal relationship between muscles and joints, chiropractors also incorporate massage, physical therapy, exercise, and even nutrition into their holistic approach. Chiropractic medicine is especially effective for: * Sports Injuries * Postural Stress Injuries * Repetitive/Overuse Injuries * Auto/Work Injuries * Preventative/Wellness Care Opened Monday, Wednesday and Friday 8:30am - 6:00pm Dr. Severns is available by appointment only on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
