Q:
How long does it take for me to start seeing results?

A:
Most of our clients begin to see results in the first
30-45 days as their initial symptoms of pain begin
to improve. Deeper levels of healing such as changes
on blood work and urine samples take a longer time
to show changes.
Q:
What happens after the initial 30-45 days? How does
the process work?
A: ICHS offers care on three levels. An introductory
series of visits is geared to help you begin to improve
symptoms. You will need to be seen either two times
a week, or in very severe cases, three times per week.
On this level, we focus on balancing the spinal column
and extremities, and on relaxing the spinal nerves
to allow them to flow freely from the brain into the
entire body, organs and glands without any interference.
It has been compared to opening a circuit breaker
to the electricity of your home. This is a major component
in restoring your body to optimum health.

The
second level of care will focus on restoring health
through enhanced nutrition. By evaluating your nutritional
needs through Applied Kinesiology and blood and urine
samples, your body will begin to undergo changes on
a cellular level, and when the tissues and cells of
the body are supplied with the proper nutrition, and
then the adjustments work a whole lot better.
In the third level of care, we focus on maintenance
and education. People come in on an as needed basis,
sometimes once a month. It’s like going to the
dentist for a cleaning to make sure there are no cavities.
This is the peak of preventative health care. You
don’t want to go to the dentist only when you
need a root canal. So it is with other areas of your
health. Don’t wait until you are bent over in
pain to take care of your spine organs and nervous
system.
Q:
Do you take insurance?
A: Chiropractic care is covered by many insurance
companies to help you get out of pain. This is what
level 1 is all about. Once your pain has improved,
the responsibility is upon you to pay for your care.
In essence, if you really want to free yourself from
dis-ease and feel your best, it is your responsibility.
No one else is going to take care of you.
Q:
Can I stay on my present medications?
A: Yes. In fact, we advocate that you do. However,
as your health improves, we suggest that you work
closely with you medical Dr. to monitor your medications,
and if it is indicated, lower the dosage until you
no longer need that medication. Based on how chronic
and severe the problem is, some medications can not
be reduced.

Q:
Can I use my current Primary Doctor?
A: Yes.
Q:
I have a General Primary Doctor, a Dentist, and a
specialist. What can I hope to accomplish with your
services?
A: If your current methods are accomplishing all of
your health related needs, then of course you have
created an optimal system for yourself. In our experience,
many people are not experiencing the results they
would like to have, and quite truthfully, their health
is failing. We recognize that there is a cause for
this failure, and work together with you to determine
why your body is not reaching for better levels of
health and well being. If you take the time to be
involved in all aspects of your health, you will feel
more in control of your life. You could continue to
utilize your Doctor, dentist and specialist, but as
you begin to overcome your present dis-ease state,
you’ll be more equipped to make effective choices
regarding your own health care.
