History Review

Examination
During your first visit, Dr. DeFries will perform a thorough exam to assess your posture, spine, and any areas of discomfort. This allows me to identify the root causes of your pain or misalignments.
MyoVision Scan
If appropriate you will receive a MyoVision scan which is a cutting-edge tool that measures muscle activity along your spine. This helps pinpoint areas of tension and stress, giving me detailed insight into your condition.

Depending on your condition, I may provide your first treatment during this visit, which could include a chiropractic adjustment, myofascial release, or other therapies to address your specific needs. I’ll explain each step to ensure you’re comfortable and understand the approach we’re takin
Follow Up
After your first visit, Dr. DeFries will check in with you to see how you’re feeling and monitor your progress.
