Royal Chiropratic Center

Did you know?

Anyone from infants to senior citizens can benefit from chiropractic care.

Also, many infections (such as ear infections) and sinus problems in children can be effectively decreased or diminished by chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Royal, in his experience as the chiropractor for the Fayetteville State University athletic program, has noted that the falls, bumps and collisions brought on from high impact sports causes the spine to be knocked out of alignment. Now, whether it's because of a fall, an accident or just a long-term ailment, chiropractic care can benefit the patient.

Consultation
Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.

History and Examination
In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent. See the bullet point after this reading to review what the complete examination consists of.

X-ray Studies
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.

Same Day Treatment
The first visit is usually geared toward evaluating your condition. If necessary, meaning if you are in acute moderate to severe pain, and once finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, patients will generally be provided with their first treatment during this same visit. This may include physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies. There are nornally no adjustments on the first visit.

Home Instructions
Prior to leaving, patients will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.

Schedule Your Next Appointment
You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen within 1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of findings. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time.
