Feeling Better Is Closer Than You Think
Most people come to us after years of being told their pain is normal, their labs are fine, or that they just have to manage it. We take a different approach.
We do not just treat the symptom in front of us. We look at your whole body your nervous system, your nutrition, your hormones, your history, and we find what is actually driving how you feel. Then we build a real plan, specific to you, and we walk with you every step of the way.
This is what healthcare is supposed to feel like.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
-
From the moment you walk through the door, you will feel the difference. Our front desk will greet you and direct you to our waiting room. If you have little ones with you, we have toys and books to keep them happy while you get settled.
A couple of things to know before you arrive: after you book your appointment you will receive an email with your new patient paperwork. Please fill this out before your visit so we can make the most of your time together. And if you have any questions before your appointment, do not hesitate to call our office. We are always happy to help.
-
We start with a thorough assessment including a detailed health history and physical examination, so we understand your specific concerns, your health goals, and what your body has been through. Nothing is too small or too complicated.
We measure your range of motion, perform orthopedic tests, and use Applied Kinesiology muscle testing to assess how your nervous system is functioning. This tells us not just where the problem is, but why it is there.
We utilize the latest chiropractic techniques and technologies to ensure effective, comfortable treatments.
From there we build a customized care plan tailored specifically to you, your lifestyle, and your wellness goals. We also offer guidance on nutrition, movement, and lifestyle so that your care does not stop when you leave our office.
-
Before you leave, your doctor will explain what they found and what your path forward looks like. You will leave with a plan.
Most of our patients tell us the same thing after their first visit: they have never felt so listened to.
You will leave knowing what is going on in your body, why it is happening, and what we are going to do about it together. Not another prescription and a handshake. A real plan, built for you.

First we need to correct the underlying problem as to why you feel this way.
Utilizing specific adjustments we correct the subluxation (a fancy word for misaligned bone). Subluxations are normally the cause of the disconnect between the communication of your brain & body. Healthy spine = healthy body.
Not only do we check the spine, but we will also do specialized testing in this phase to identify foods that are causing inflammation, Elimination of Toxins that are effecting function, and Rebalancing Nutrition by adding in correct supplements and vitamins.
-
Now that we know what's going on, we will help support the body with gentle yet effective chiropractic adjustments.
Here we will focus on rebuilding and reorganizing the communication pathways, for optimal function across your entire nervous system.
Your life is busy- we want to make sure you can maintain optimal function - and lack of pain during your busy life.
-
We are on our way to transitioning from surviving to thriving!
Now that we have your body where we want it and your brain and body are communicating well, you'll feel like yourself again in between visits. This is where care gets fun. You're feeling better, and life is great!
Begin Your Wellness Journey
Healing happens in phases. Here is what that looks like at ENC.
Your Path Forward Starts with One Visit
Whatever brought you here, pain, exhaustion, a pregnancy, a child who needs care, or just the feeling that something is off, we are ready to help. We cannot wait to meet you.
-
The timeframe for seeing results can vary depending on your condition, its severity, and how long you've had it. Some patients feel immediate relief after their first visit, while others may need several treatments before noticing significant improvements. Your chiropractor will discuss expected outcomes during your initial consultation.
-
Most chiropractic adjustments are not painful. Some patients might experience mild soreness after treatment, similar to what you might feel after exercise, but this typically subsides quickly.
-
We provide patient centered care at a cash rate. This allows us to give care that is based on your individual needs- not on what an insurance company deems medically necessary.
