Leg Pain / Sciatica
Sciatica is actually a sign that you have an underlying problem putting pressure on a nerve in your lower back. The most common cause of this nerve compression is a bulging or herniated lumbar disc. Sciatic pain is commonly relieved through a combination of stretches, deep tissue massage of the piriformis muscle and chiropractic care.

Sports Injuries
The primary focus of the chiropractor treating sports injuries is on the spine and surrounding joints that are susceptible to the body contact, fast starts and stops and positioning of the athlete that place unusual strain on the structural system.

Disc Injuries
A herniated spinal disc is a displaced fragment of the center part or nucleus of the disc that is pushed through a tear in the outer layer or annulus of the disc. This condition most commonly affects people between the ages of 30 and 40.

Soft Tissue Injuries
A soft tissue injury is the result of a sprain, strain or bruise to a muscle tendon or ligament. The majority of claims from automobile accidents and injury complaints from athletes relate to soft-tissue problems.

ICBC / WCB
You might be eligible for ICBC coverage after a motor vehicle accident. And WCB will pay for claims to workers who suffer injuries performing work-related activities.
Back Pain
Eighty percent of people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. It is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor's office, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections. In fact, it is estimated that low back pain affects more than half of the adult population each year.

Neck Pain
The degree of flexibility of the neck, coupled with the fact that it has the least amount of muscular stabilization and it has to support and move your 14 - 16 pound head, means that the neck is very susceptible to injury. Most neck pain is caused by a combination of factors, including injury, poor posture, chiropractic subluxations, stress, and in some instances, disc problems.

When most people become stressed, they unconsciously contract their back and neck muscles. This ‘muscle guarding’ is a survival response designed to guard against injury, but in today’s world this action still occurs whenever we become emotionally stressed, and needs to be relieved using excercise and deep breathing techniques.
Whiplash
By far, the most common injury to the neck is a whiplash injury. Caused by a sudden movement of the head (such as an automobile accident), either falling backwards, forward, or sideways, results in the damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other connective tissues in the neck and upper back.

Your First Visit

Consultation:
On your first visit you will be ask to visit our office about 15 minutes before you are seen by one of the Doctors of Chiropractic.

You will be welcomed to our office by the warm smiles of our Chiropractic Assistants Pat, Judy or Gail and asked to fill our forms which will help us gain some information about yourself and your condition.

Dr. Richard Cronk, Dr. Sandra Jensen, or Dr. Josh West will then go over a clinical history with you to determine if chiropractic care may be of benefit to you. If the doctor can help you, the doctor will let you know and thoroughly explain how we can help. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

Examination:
After a thorough consultation with one of the Doctors, you will have a complete chiropractic examination. The examination will include testing your range of motion, testing your reflexes, and your muscle strength, your ability to bend and move as well as other standard orthopedic , postural, neurologic and physical examinations that are necessary. You will not have to undress for the examination.

X-rays:
Dr. Cronk, Dr. Jensen and Dr. West are fully qualified to take and read x-rays. Your history and examination will determine the need for x-rays and we will consider them on a case by case basis. Discovery Chiropractic now has in-office state of the art digital x-ray.

Report of Finding:
Once all the information and examinations have been performed the doctor will sit down with you to give you a report of findings and share with you the recommendations for treatment. You will be told the frequency of visits and the time frame to achieve the desired results.

Treatment:
Usually you will receive your first treatment on the first visit. Dr. Cronk, Dr. Jensen or Dr. West will use gentle yet effective adjustments appropriate for the individual.

Each person has different problem and unique anatomical make up which require individual considerations. At Discovery Chiropractic we believe in evidence based health care which means we will use the most up-to-date information to treat your condition.
