"going to the doctor's" may be something we've all done from time
to time, most people don't rank it up there among their favorite
things to do in life. You come to your first appointment with any
new doctor with all kinds of expectations, good and bad, based on
past experiences, and usually with some degree of "fear of the unknown."</font><br>

And, at the same time -- from the minute you walk in the door --
you'll notice that it's not all "white-coat, and impersonal," either.
Chiropractic care, as we practice it, is a healing art that honors
the patient. Everyone who works at a Camber clinic is committed
to nurturing a relationship with you built on understanding, compassion,
respect, and consideration. Just one example: we believe your time
is as valuable as ours! "Going to the doctor's," as far as we're
concerned, isn't about sitting and waiting -- and sitting and waiting
some more. It's about keeping your time to a minimum, while giving
you the quality time we need to take care of your pain. </font></p>

expect. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Then,
your Doctor will come in and meet with you and look you over. In
addition to a general physical, orthopedic, and neurological examination,
a Chiropractic examination also includes detection of tenderness,
restricted joint movement, levels of pain, and any other signs of
neck, back and joint problems. Whatever hurts, wherever your pain
is, this is what your Doctor will be evaluating and talking to you
about. When that's done, your Doctor will tell you what he or she
thinks is going on -- medically speaking, give you a brief report
of findings -- and if you're in agreement, move ahead with the appropriate
treatment right then and there, during that very first visit.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">By
gently and precisely manipulating specific joints, your Doctor may
adjust your spine to improve your spinal alignment and motion, and
relieve muscle spasms, pressure, or irritation. After your adjustment,
you may feel immediate improvement, although most people experience
a gradual, progressive relief of their symptoms.</font></p>
<p align="left"> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">After
this initial appointment, our plan will be to start you on a short
course of <a href="cctreatment3.html" target="content">treatment</a>
that can last anywhere from two to six weeks. Initially, you may
set up two or three appointments pretty close together. Let's assume
you rated your pain -- on a scale of 0 to 10, 10 being the most
severe -- at a five or above. Your next appointment will probably
be the following day. If you're experiencing a situation where the
onset of pain was two or three weeks ago, and now it's more nagging,
we'd probably do a treatment and see you next in a couple of days.
After every six visits, give or take, we'll want to re-evaluate
your condition to make sure we're hitting the benchmarks we've set,
and can see whether we're bringing about the desired results.</font></p>
