A careful conversation before hands-on care
Chiropractic care begins with listening. Dr. Jeff Boyajian, DC reviews what you are experiencing, what you hope to change, and any concerns you have before discussing whether care may be appropriate.
Your evaluation comes first
A visit may include questions about your health history, symptoms, daily activities, and goals, along with an assessment relevant to your concerns. You are welcome to ask why an approach is being suggested, what alternatives exist, and what to expect before deciding.
The information gathered helps guide a conversation about whether chiropractic care is a reasonable option or whether another type of evaluation would be more appropriate.
An approach shaped around you
When care is appropriate, the doctor may discuss controlled joint movements or instrument-assisted methods in general terms. The approach is selected for the individual rather than assumed in advance, and not every method or visit is suitable for every person.
Care can be adjusted as you share feedback. You may pause, decline a proposed step, or revisit the plan at any time.
Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT)
Dr. Jeff is trained in Sacral Occipital Technique, a specialized chiropractic approach that includes gentle work with the head and cranial bones. Few chiropractors practice SOT, and it is one of several techniques Dr. Jeff may draw on as part of a care plan built around you. If you have questions about whether SOT is a fit for you, ask during your visit.
Clear communication throughout
Good care includes discussing possible discomforts, meaningful risks, alternatives, and when medical evaluation or referral may be useful. Chiropractic care is not a promise of a particular result or timeline, and it does not replace medical care when that is needed.
The goal is a respectful, informed decision that fits your situation and comfort level.
Educational information only; a clinician should review your individual situation before care.
A little more
clarity.
General information to help you start a conversation. Your doctor can answer questions specific to you.
Do I have to receive treatment after an evaluation?
No. An evaluation is a chance to understand your options. You can ask questions, take time to consider them, or decline or pause care.
Is the same technique used for everyone?
No. The approach depends on the evaluation, your preferences, and the discussion of potential benefits, risks, and alternatives. Some people may not be suited to particular methods.
Can chiropractic care replace a medical evaluation?
Chiropractic care should not replace medical evaluation when it is needed. If your history or symptoms suggest medical assessment is appropriate, that option can be discussed instead of or alongside chiropractic care.
