When you make an appointment with a good Tampa chiropractor like Dr. William A. Buhrman, Jr., what can you expect when you walk in the door?
Complete dedication to chiropractic wellness!
What does that mean?
Chiropractic wellness focuses on total body care. Here, you won’t just point out where it hurts, get some temporary relief, and go home to experience more pain later. Instead, Dr. Buhrman will work with you to come up with a plan that alleviates your current pain and prevents you from suffering future pain.
How do you start on the road to chiropractic wellness?
Instead of just plopping you down on a table at your first visit (like the average Tampa chiropractor does!), Dr. Buhrman starts all of his new patients off with a face-to-face consultation. The two of you will go over your health problems and concerns – and discuss ways that the two of you can fix them. After all, Dr. Buhrman believes that true chiropractic wellness is a partnership… that’s why he wants to sit down with you first!
From there, Dr. Buhrman will give you some standard (and mostly painless!) tests that assess your reflexes, flexibility, neurological, orthopedic, and postural health. If your situation warrants it, Dr. Buhrman will take x-rays of your spine to see exactly where the problem is. So, what comes next?
The physical side of chiropractic wellness!
Unlike the average Tampa chiropractor, Dr. Buhrman doesn’t just lay you down and start cracking at each appointment. Instead, he combines sophisticated chiropractic adjustments with other beneficial treatments – like physical therapy, soft tissue massages, and even laser therapy – in a regimen that’s specifically-crafted for you.
How often will you need to come in?
The frequency of your appointments will depend on the plan that you and Dr. Buhrman come up with. Some patients are lucky enough to achieve chiropractic wellness in just a few sessions, while others need more lengthy care.
But, remember, you’re a partner in this, too!
Depending on your needs and concerns, Dr. Buhrman may give you some “homework” when your appointment is over – like having you apply ice or heat at home, avoid certain positions, or do some light stretching when you feel your neck, spine, or limbs start to get tense.
And, if you want, Dr. Buhrman will even help you create better eating habits and come up with healthier lifestyle habits. Head over to our Customized Nutrition page to see what kind of changes you can make. That way, you can experience chiropractic wellness from the inside out!
