Prospective Clients
	• Your initial visit
		Your initial visit with the doctor of chiropractic will last approximately an hour and a half and includes a consultation, a life history, and a thorough spinal examination. We also will review what’s working and not working, and what you would like to see change. You will receive your first gentle Network Adjustment, also called an entrainment. In addition, the doctor of chiropractic will give you a feeling of what our unique approach can do for you, and we’ll sit down and discuss what you noticed, how your system has changed, and then you can decide on your own if our method is right for you. We will give you recommendations for care which outlines what can be done for you, how long it will take, and how much it will cost. From this, you can then decide on a plan of action.

	• While receiving your Network Adjustments
		For the few moments while you are receiving your Network Adjustment, suspend your thoughts and bring your attention to your body and breathe. Feel what the body is wanting and simply pay attention. You will notice that you will almost immediately start to breathe more deeply. Pay attention to the movements of your body, too. You will be amazed at how much tension can be dissipated.
	• Frequency of care
		The frequency of your visits varies according to your desired wellness goals. Some clients want to follow the specific Network Spinal Analysis Levels of Care, while others want to create their own schedule. We will work with you to achieve the results you want, but your expectations must be consistent with your efforts.
