What a visit with Joelle looks like
Your first appointment runs 60 to 90 minutes, and the adjustment is the last thing that happens, not the first. Joelle starts with your history — what happened, when, what makes it worse, what you have already tried — then screens your posture, measures range of motion rather than estimating it, and examines the joints and soft tissue around the area you are pointing at.
You get told what was found before anything is treated. If you are a chiropractic case and you want to be adjusted the same day, that happens at the first visit. A full verbal report of findings comes at the follow-up, when there has been time to look at everything properly.
Joelle adjusts using Diversified, Myofascial Release, Cox Flexion-Distraction, Webster Technique, and the choice is made from the exam rather than from habit. Lower-force options exist for every region of the spine, so if a manual adjustment is not right for you — or you simply do not want one — there is another way to get the joint moving. Each technique is described here.
Not every problem is a chiropractic problem. If yours is not, you will be told at the exam and pointed toward the right kind of care.
