| Fresh Start Chiropractic Inc provides many services and treatments for our clients which include: |
 Consultation
Dr. Nico provides a detailed and comprehensive examination for all his patients, initially covering any existing injuries as well as forming a cohesive picture of past and current health for the patient. With all new patients, Dr. Nico explains what Chiropractic does and his approach to the issues the patient presents. Our full examination will cover all areas of the body, evaluating the spinal integrity and posture, a soft tissue and neurological/orthopedic assessment, and a focused injury analysis, to ensure that the diagnosis provides a clear pathway to recovery, and an idea of how to prevent future recurrence of similar injuries. Finally, if the examination reveals a need for further testing or diagnosis, Dr. Nico will work with the patient to make sure any other health care needs are met and coordinated to provide the most comprehensive coverage possible. Report of Findings
Dr. Nico will discuss all the results of the history, examination and testing with the patient to establish a program of care, and make sure that it is fully understood by the patient. Update Examinations
If necessary, Dr. Nico will perform periodic re-examinations to evaluate progress or address new concerns. Dr. Nico may perform various Chiropractic tests in addition to the routine examination. | Chiropractic Adjustments
During regular care, Dr. Nico will perform Chiropractic adjustments to the spine and extremity joints to correct subluxations and remove interference to the nervous system. These adjustments are determined specifically by the needs of the patient according to the current conditions and by the pre-set protocols for providing the most efficient improvement of the patient's condition. | Adjunctive Care and Therapy
Along with Chiropractic adjustments, additional therapy may be used to help speed the recovery process or improve functional stability of the joints. This care may include a wide range of modalities such as: electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, massage and trigger point therapy, ice or heat treatment, exercise conditioning and training, neurological motor therapy, stretching and other modalities. These types of treatments will be explained to the patient, and each of them will be used when necessary to improve on the fundamental chiropractic adjustments to provide a higher level of care. | Fitness Evaluations
Upon request, Dr. Nico will evaluate a patient's fitness level and provide recommendations to custom-fit a patient's goals and needs. Using a physical examination and fitness evaluation, Dr. Nico will work on site or in a real-world setting (gym or during athletic/sports activity) to address the client's specific concerns and achieve specific fitness goals. Fitness training will include the evaluation, specific stretching and training protocols, and follow-up care to verify progress and safety. | Nutritional Assessment
Dr. Nico sometimes finds that nutrition or other health counseling are necessary to help stabilize or improve the patient's condition. If needed, Dr. Nico will counsel each patient on an individual basis. The benefits of nutritional counseling include improving immune function, increasing overall wellness, weight control, and other more specific functions. Dr. Nico may recommend supplements, vitamins or dietary instructions to help the patient achieve their individual goals. | Radiology: X-Ray and MRI
Upon review of the findings, Dr. Nico may determine that X-rays or an MRI are necessary. Fresh Start Chiropractic works with multiple clinics to provide immediate access to such testing in the event it is needed to provide further diagnostic information. |
