Typical Visit

A typical visit in our Watertown office should not last more than 20-30 minutes. Our systems and procedures are designed to ensure a very thorough but very efficient visit for you.  We value your time!

You will be greeted by name as you enter, and we would expect that you will find the same warm, healing experience on each, and every one of your visits.  We try to have very minimal time waiting and will attempt to start some portion of your care shortly after you arrive.

The doctor’s portion of your visit will include some type of manipulation to the spine (or other joints,) and often times a variety of soft tissue (muscle) techniques as well.  This treatment is usually quite comfortable and most patients actually enjoy it!

Electrical muscle stimulation may be helpful.

Either before or after your visit with the doctor we may need to use some other type of therapy procedure such as ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, or rehabilitation exercises.  These are all design to ultimately provide a quicker response to care and progress you to more home care, so you have less visits in our office.

When your visit is finished, you will be told if there is another appointment necessary.  Often times, we have patients pre-schedule their appointments so they are able to receive times that are convenient for their schedule.

 Dr. Hendricks Asks some important questions of interest to Watertown residents - Chiropractor Watertown Dr. Hendricks Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
