My Treatment Approach
I start by listening to your concerns, understanding your daily routine, and assessing how you move. From there, I recommend care based on your needs and goals, which may include:
​
-
Chiropractic adjustments
-
Spinal decompression
-
Targeted soft-tissue therapy
-
Stretching and guided exercises.
​
My goal is to help you move more comfortably and feel more confident doing the things you enjoy—from working out, playing with your kids, long workday, etc. I’ll explain what I find, discuss your treatment options, and give you practical steps to support your progress between visits.

What happens at your first visit
1. Initial Consultation
During this session, we will engage in thorough conversation to understand your complaint, discuss the history of your present illness, review your medical history, and go through a review of systems. This process is essential in helping us tailor the best approach to your healthcare needs.
2. Chiropractic Exam
This consists of focused exam based on your chief complaint including inspection, palpation, range of motion, neurological testing and orthopedic tests. This will help us determine what condition(s) we are working with and if diagnostic imaging is recommended.
3. Review of Findings
After the information gathered from the initial consultation and exam, a review of findings is presented explaining what the doctor found, if they are able to help, treatment and options, and any recommendations. The doctor will then suggest appropriate amount of sessions, and for how long. While we do not offer in-house imaging (X-rays, MRI, etc.), if we feel deemed necessary, a referral will be sent over to a local imaging center or Primary Care Physician.
4. Treatment
This will be final step of the process which is a customized treatment based on your needs. Dr. Elias will suggest appropriate amount of sessions, and for how long. Those that experience pain intermittently will require less sessions than those that have consistent pain and discomfort.
