Drs. Kara & Sebastian Ask...
Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
What's the purpose of a surgeon's mask?
When I ask most people in Barrie this, most think it protects the patient from the doctor's germs. But it's so porous it does little to prevent the passage of germs. We chiropractors don't bother with masks.
Your Second Visit
After we study your health history and correlate our assessment findings, we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. We call this the Report of Findings & Recommendations.
This is usually attended to on your second visit, which may be the following day and takes 20-30 minutes. This two-visit approach accomplishes several things:
- Reduces the length of your first visit
- Gives us time to correlate our findings
- Avoids overloading you with too much information
In certain situations, and in the professional judgment of Dr. Sebastian or Dr. Kara, we sometimes make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation. We seek to answer all of your questions and concerns and to provide with health care solutions that work for you!
