The St Charles Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor St Charles

Your First Visit to our St Charles Practice

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

When you come for your first visit, if you haven't downloaded and completed our admission forms from our website, you will be asked to complete the necessary forms before the doctor sees you.  Your first visit will take about an hour.

Dr. Di Carlo will be conducting an in depth consultation of your current and past health-care history in addition to a comprehensive physical examination of the area of your main complaint.  Once this is completed, the doctor will make some preliminary decisions as to whether or not your case will respond to chiropractic care. 

If the doctor believes your current condition will be better served elsewhere, he will refer you to the appropriate health-care provider.  If he believes yours is a chiropractic case, he will prescribe physical therapeutics to aid you in dealing with the discomfort that brought you into the office. At that point you will be released from care with home care instructions, and if necessary, a requisition to have x rays taken. Then you will be scheduled for your second visit.

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.

Patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance!

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.
