Dr. Shawn has been in practice as a licensed chiropractor (DC) for over 5 years. Prior to that he was a certified athletic trainer (ATC) for 3 years and a certified personal trainer (CPT) for 4 years. He has worked with patients in their 90’s and as young as one month old. He has also worked with professional triathletes, hockey players, golfers, factory workers, truckers, accountants, office workers, and stay at home parents. Through the years, he has worked with people of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds.

We use the following techniques:

• A diversified manipulation technique based on manual adjustments, drop table adjustments, and activator adjustments.

• Additional manual therapy techniques as an adjunct or as a standalone treatment. These techniques are dry needling, dynamic cupping therapy, and scraping therapy.

• Therapeutic exercise as an adjunct or as a standalone treatment. The exercises are used to increase mobility, strength, and athleticism (which is useful even if you are not an “athlete”).

• Passive therapies as an adjunct to the techniques above. I offer spinal decompression, intersegmental traction, and electrical muscle stimulation.

• The boring stuff. Takes 10-30 minutes and can be done online ahead of your first visit.

Initial consultation

• 15 minutes talking about any concerns you are dealing with, what you are looking to get out of care with us, and figuring out if what you are dealing with is something we can help you with.

Examination

• A 15-30 minutes in depth exam to further evaluate you and your problems to determine what is causing your problems and where the problem is.

Treatment or Referral

• 10-30 minutes of treatment which will be determined by you and Dr. Shawn based upon the findings of the consultation and the examination.

• If at any point during the consultation or examination we discover something that may be a contraindication to treatment, we will refer you out to receive further testing (x-ray, MRI, CT scan, lab work, etc…) prior to treatment.

Not in most cases. However, if at any point during the consultation or examination we discover something that may be a contraindication to treatment we will refer you out to receive further testing (x-ray, MRI, CT scan, lab work, etc…) prior to treatment.

It varies. Every patient and every condition is unique so the treatment plan must also be unique. Here are a few of the many factors that go into a treatment plan:

• Patient preference

• Patient availability

• Cost

• Length of injury

• Severity of injury

Costs will vary depending on what treatments are performed.

For those NOT using health insurance to pay for services:

• First visit ranges from $60-$160

• Following visits range from $30-$100

For those USING health insurance:

• Costs will vary drastically between different carriers and different plans.

• Insurance benefits and all associated costs will be reviewed PRIOR to any treatment.

Potentially. We believe the human body to be very strong, resilient, and adaptive. We also believe we can get you back to doing the activities you love because life’s too short to settle for anything less. With that being said, if the activity you love is making your problems worse, we may have to modify what or how much you are doing, and in some cases stop doing it until we can gradually reintroduce you to it.
