Your First Visit to Our Fairfax Practice

Dr. Elizabeth consults with patients explaining everything in advance.Most Activator Methods chiropractic patients request this technique from our clinic.  Some patients do want to know if Reiki, acupuncture, chiropractic, nutritional counseling or physical therapy modalities like cold laser, ultrasound, or low volt galvanic are in order for their condition.  I believe that listening to you will tell me the best way to proceed with your healthcare.  Patients may want to know what is the best treatment for a certain condition.  Patients should bring a list of  their supplements, medications, and have a recall of their recent health history.  Depending on the patients attitude towards procedures, patients are asked to bring in as much data, x-rays, and MRI's that they want to review based on the region of their body in question and the reports dated in the last 6 months of the visit. 

Plan to spend an hour and a half with us on your first visit.  For this reason, there are only certain times that we will take new patients on a given day.  This allows for traffic, paperwork , etc.  Paperwork is a necessary function and can be filled out prior to the first visit to save time and stress on everyone. If you pull down the paperwork or get us to fax it to you, then your first visit can be shortened by half an hour.

We Explain Everything First

The purpose of your consultation with the doctor is to discuss your health goals and see if chiropractic is likely to help you. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem.


Fairfax patients appreciate the clinic being open late til 7pm for appointments and open Saturdays for the last 14 years!  My goal is to demonstrate to you that your health is my #1 priority.  Therefore, I request to spend one on one time with you each visit.  This way I can determine if you need acupuncture, chiropractic, Reiki energy work, physical therapy or nutritional counseling on that visit.

 Dr. Elizabeth Asks some important questions of interest to Fairfax residents - Chiropractor Fairfax Dr. Elizabeth 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.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Fairfax chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
