What to Expect at our Lafayette or Fall River Mills Chiropractic Practice

If you’ve ever gone to a social event where you didn’t know anyone, you know how uncomfortable that can make you feel. Our goal is to eliminate every shred of apprehension and make you feel at home.

Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it’s important that our relationship can go the distance. We’ve found that one of the best ways to have successful patient relationships is to explain everything in advance. No surprises!

The more you understand who we are, what we do and why we do it, the better results you’ll enjoy. It’s as simple as that.

Your First Visit

The goal for the first visit, is to get an idea of your health problem, make sure it is something Dr. Milligan can successfully treat, and that it is safe and appropriate for him to treat you.

The doctor will have you complete some paperwork, take your history, review any studies that you may have and examine you. If Dr. Milligan decides that he has a good chance to help you, he will then will start light force standard chiropractic care. If paperwork is completed prior, allow 40 minutes.

With more challenging cases where Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic is most appropriate, X-ray's, higher math, bio-physics, and measurements are needed and take an extended time. See globalao.com for more details.




Your Second Visit

On the second visit, we will start active care. I do not have a formula for a patients needed care, and rely on my patients response to schedule their care. I do not believe in over treating my patients. Your second visit takes on average 20 minutes.




A Typical Office Visit

Our typical office visit starts with brief paperwork reporting your improvements, or concerns. Dr. Milligan will take a brief history and decide that day's course of treatment, and future care. The main factor is how much you have progressed overall. Allow 20 minutes.

So, check us out here. Poke around. Get to know us. Then, contact us to make an appointment so we can get to know you.

Doc Asks some important questions of interest to Lafayette and Fall River Mills residents - Chiropractor Lafayette and Fall River Mills Doc Asks...

What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Lafayette and Fall River Mills folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Lafayette and Fall River Mills chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
