The Burlington Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Burlington

Your First Visit to Our Burlington Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

When you arrive at Drummond Chiropractic, you will be greeted by Dr. Karen Drummond and given the admitting paperwork to fill out. Dr. Drummond will review the paperwork and have a consultation with you. The purpose of the consultation is to go over your health history in detail and give you the chance to ask any questions you have. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each other a little and determine if this is the right office for you.

Once the consultation is finished, if Dr. Drummond determines your problem is one that may be helped through chiropractic, we proceed to the exam. We do a thorough exam consisting of many parts:

  • Physical Exam - those things you would expect at any doctor's office: height, weight, blood pressure, etc.

  • Orthopedic Exam - consists of different tests that check how you are moving

  • Neurological Exam - we test things like sensation, muscle strength, and reflexes

  • Chiropractic Exam - consists of palpating your spine and looking at posture and gait

  • SEMG - Surface Electromyography - it tests the pattern of muscle tension in your back and neck
All of this takes about an hour.

Dr Karen Asks some important questions of interest to Burlington residents - Chiropractor Burlington Dr Karen Asks...

What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Burlington folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
