Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) is the technique we use for structural balance and rebuilding the spine to a stronger, structurally more stable and ultimately healthier position. It is currently the only technique that has documented and published its effectiveness in affecting postural, spinal structural changes. CBP founders and researchers have published research in some of the most prestigious health journals in the world, including Spine, Journal of Orthopedic Research, Clinical Biomechanics, European Spine Journal, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Every protocol and procedure utilized in addressing the patient's spinal problem is therefore state of the art, and clinically defendableHardman Chiropractic is committed to delivering the best care humanly possible, to help you reach your personal expectations and that care is CBP care.

Your 1st Visit

On your first visit to our office you will be greeted with a warm smile and welcomed as a member of our family. You will then be asked to fill out some forms that will help us gain important information about you and your condition. Your personal expectations and goals are our top priority. If you have health insurance you will be asked to provide your card so that we may, with your permission, make a copy for our records and of course to determine your coverage.

Dr. Hardman will then dialogue with you and ask you some specific questions regarding your condition to determine if he thinks chiropractic care may be of benefit to you. If he thinks he can help you, he will tell you. If he thinks he cannot help you, he will refer you to a doctor that will be able to help you the most. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

Examination

After a thorough consultation with the doctor, you will have a complete chiropractic examination. This will include a detailed orthopedic and neurological examination to help establish which parts of your body are injured or affected, and help to determine the most likely cause of your problems. If necessary, the doctor may take x-rays or refer you for additional testing procedures.

X-Rays

Many patients wonder why we take spinal x-rays. Spinal x-rays are a key component for us to evaluate the condition of your spine. X-rays allow us to see things that would otherwise be hidden. Modern x-ray techniques allow us to actually rule out or measure the degree of structural abnormality present, and remove any doubt as to the full extent of each patient's structural problem. This powerful tool enables us to make a specific diagnosis of your condition, and helps us determine the exact treatment that is best for you. Another feature unique to CBP care, is the ability to also measure the degree of improvement or when possible, the resolution of the structural challenge originally presented, and, when necessary, what is needed to prevent the challenge from returning in the future. The initial visit last approximately 90 minutes. Once all the information and examinations have been performed, the doctor will have you schedule for a presentation of all of his findings.

Presentation of Findings

This is when the doctor will explain what he found, whether he can help you, how long it will take to correct and how much it will cost. The doctor will also discuss any questions you may have regarding your options for addressing your particular problem.
