Frequently Asked Questions

The services provided at CSSC can help to successfully treat most musculoskeletal-based conditions.
If during the course of our exam or treatment we determine that further imaging or co-management/referral is needed, we will make recommendations accordingly.

-
First visit is generally up to 45min
Follow up visits are anywhere from 15-45 minutes based on individualized patient needs
-
Our first visit begins with a history and examination of your area of complaint.
Treatment will include soft tissue treatments (active release therapy, myofascial release, active/passive stretching, dry needling, etc.) and/or chiropractic adjustments depending on patients' needs.
Starting with the patient's first visit, rehabilitative exercises will be prescribed and demonstrated by the doctor to aide in recovery and prevention of the condition which is being treated.
-
If clinically indicated during the course of your examination, the doctor may recommend x-rays to rule out contraindications to care.
-
The acute patient presents with sudden onset pain often related to a specific incident or action. The acute patient is often seen more frequently at first due to the severity of pain and its interference with their normal daily activities.
The maintenance patient is often an individual who has gone through care for an acute condition and has seen the additional benefit of treatment in how their body feels and functions on a daily basis.
Our office welcomes patients seeking either type of care.
-
In general, we advise patients that in treating with a combo of soft tissue therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and rehabilitation exercises, we want to see positive changes within 2-4 visits with visit frequency being adjusted accordingly. However, every treatment plan is different and designed to fit each patient's individual needs. Chronic problems may require longer treatment plans than acute problems. (Although trauma is acute, it may take more treatments depending on the nature of the injury.) We work with the patient to achieve their treatment goals as soon as possible.
