Regular Visits

After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length.

Avoid relapse with regular visits.

In a word: no. Regular office visits will take about 20 minutes from the time we greet you in the reception room until we schedule your next visit.

When you arrive, you will be asked to sign in, after which we'll escort you to an adjustment room.  Because Dr. Di Carlo performs myofascial trigger point therapy on most patients, patients are asked to put on a gown in the privacy of  the closed-door adjustment room.  To help you feel more comfortable, we ask that you bring a pair of shorts with you, if you so choose.

Once you a properly gowned,  Beth will speak with you about the progress you have made toward wellness since your last visit.  Dr. Di Carlo will then come into your room and talk with you about health related issue and deliver your adjustment.  If your case warrants it, you will be given physical therapeutics such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound or traction.  Before he leaves your room, he will entertain any questions you may have about your visit and care. He will then advise youWe have a large selection of products to compliment the care you receive in our office about when you next visit should be.  You will then return to your street clothes and visit the front desk to take care of scheduling your appointments and satisfy your financial obligations.

But don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, we can quickly size up the condition of your spine and nervous system, adjust you and get you on your way.

Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds on the ones before. Miss a visit and you can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes.

We recognize your time is valuable. So we do everything possible to run on time and minimize the impact on your busy life.

 Dr. Joseph Asks some important questions of interest to St Charles residents - Chiropractor St Charles Dr. Joseph Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a St Charles parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
