Your First Visit to Our Philadelphia Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

The first visit takes about an hour (ours is not an office that generally keeps people waiting). To find out if we can help you, we ask questions and listen and discuss. We generally do not provide care on the first visit unless a person is in severe pain and needs some relief. Often (unless it is due to a recent accident or injury) a person comes to us with a problem they've had for some time. It is important to carefully examine and determine what is causing the problem so it can be properly and safely treated, rather than just begin care without a complete clinical picture.

We no longer keep X-ray equipment on the premises, so if we feel you need radiographs, MRI or any other studies, we will refer you to a convenient facility. If you have recent studies, bring them.

Dr. Rush  Asks some important questions of interest to Philadelphia residents - Chiropractor Philadelphia Dr. Rush Asks...

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Philadelphia chiropractic practice.
