Is CSS Right for You?

The fact that you are on our website means that you are ready to take action to improve your health. While it is easy to use medicine for fast pain relief and not allow your medical conditions to worsen, it’s quite another thing to determine the real cause of your health problem and find a permanent solution. Here is a guide to determine if our facility is the right place for you!

CSS is right for you if:

  • You want to find the root cause of your health problem instead of just addressing the symptoms
  • You want a customized, non-cookie cutter, proven approach to solving your problem*
  • You are looking for a long-term solution and not a quick fix
  • You do not want to pursue invasive approaches with side effects to solve your health issues

CSS is not the right fit for you if:

  • You are not ready to take charge of and invest in your health
  • You expect the CSS Team to take care of you like every other chiropractic office around
  • You expect a spinal change in short order

Your First Visit

Please allow an hour for your first visit. You will have an in-depth consultation with the doctor to review your medical history and current concerns. Then, you’ll undergo a variety of tests to determine the cause of your symptoms, all the areas of your body affected, and the most effective treatment. (We are thorough!)

Online Forms

Our aim is to make your first visit about YOU and not about filling out a bunch of paperwork. So, after scheduling your appointment with our office, we will email you our New Patient Application online forms. Please fill them out before you come in so that upon arriving at our office, you’ll be all set!

Consultation & Health History

You will meet with the doctor and review your medical history and current health issues on your first visit. To gain a global perspective on your symptoms and determine the underlying cause, the doctor will ask questions about the problems you’re experiencing as well as your overall health. During this session, feel free to openly discuss your health-related conditions, as well as your expectations and concerns.

Examination

Following the consult, we will perform a number of tests to determine which body tissues are affected and to what extent. Our findings will help us identify specific areas of your body that need attention, from a musculoskeletal, neurologic, and physiologic standpoint.

Digital X-Ray Studies

It may be necessary to take digital X-rays to scientifically confirm the best treatment for your particular spinal structure/condition. Our X-ray machines take high-quality images with low radiation exposure, much like those typically found only in the finest hospitals. We will review and give you a detailed explanation of our findings at your follow-up appointment.

Questions for Us?

Our Clinic Director, Dr. David Shapiro, sits down to answer New Patients’ most frequently asked questions for us!
Thank you for your interest in Complete Spine Solutions! If you have any questions for us, call 770-938-4606.

What conditions do you typically treat?

Spinal misalignments can cause pinched nerves, muscle spasms, headaches, back pain, neck pain, slipped discs, and sciatica. Application of Complete Spine Solutions Spinal Correction has helped to relieve or eliminate these symptoms, as well as a host of other conditions, such as ADHD, allergies, asthma, stomach problems, bedwetting, carpal tunnel syndrome, colic, ear infections, PMS, scoliosis, whiplash, etc. We do not treat these conditions directly, but as the spine returns to proper positioning, the stress on the nervous system is reduced and the body begins to heal itself. As such, we can often bring our patients out of pain and back to optimal function without the need for medications or surgery.

Do I need x-rays?

Although many chiropractors are not taking x-rays these days, we liken it to a mechanic who works on your car without looking under the hood. It may be necessary to take digital X-rays to scientifically confirm the best treatment for your particular spinal structure/condition. These images are high quality, with low radiation exposure, much like those typically found only in the finest hospitals. The radiographs that we take pose no increased risk of cancer. We will give you a copy of your radiographs, along with a full explanation, at your Report of the Doctor’s Findings (second) visit.

Why is your initial examination not like other offices that I see that charge only $49?

You get what you pay for. I assure you, our examination is the most detailed examination you’ve ever received. Here’s what we do: Following the consult, we will perform a number of orthopedic, neurologic, range of motion, and digital postural tests, to determine which body tissues are affected and to what extent. Our findings will help us identify specific areas of your body that need attention, from a musculoskeletal, neurologic, and physiologic standpoint. We make every effort to explain to our patients what we do, and why we do it, so you can fully understand what is going on in your body.

Are you open on the weekend?

Our office is not open on the weekend. My incredible team works really hard all week to deliver the best healthcare experience for every patient we see. I let them have time with their family and friends on the weekend.

What does the consultation consist of?

You will meet with the doctor and review your medical history and current health issues. To gain a global perspective on your symptoms and determine the underlying cause, the doctor will ask numerous questions about the problems you’re experiencing. During this session, you should feel free to openly discuss your health-related conditions, as well as your expectations and concerns.

What are the best exercises, or other things I can do on my own, for easing back pain?

Walking: If you want to accelerate your healing time, think motion. Motion releases endorphins, your body’s natural pain reliever. Walking is a basic human motion that eases lower back pain. It not only releases endorphins but also pumps toxins out of the lower back discs, which are hypersensitive to pain. Walking is a great, basic exercise that we encourage our patients to do so as soon as they are able.
Knee Pulls: While lying flat on your back, pull your right knee straight up towards your right shoulder, holding it in place with your hands. Hold for 30 seconds then switch legs. Repeat a few times a day. This flexed position takes the pressure off the rear joints in the lower back. It is a great stretch for tightened lower back muscles and ligaments.
Prior to beginning any exercise regimen, please consult your local chiropractor certified in Chiropractic BioPhysics. You can search for a Basic or Advanced Certified doctor near you here: http://cbppatient.com

What can I do to prevent back pain?

Stretching and core strengthening exercises are great for preventing back pain. The foundation of the strength of your body is your “core” region, the area located around your lower back and abdomen. Keep this area strong and flexible by doing core strengthening exercises such as planks. Always use good form. As you begin to fatigue, pay close attention to your form. If your hips start to sag downward, stop this exercise. Exercises that burn a lot of calories to help keep the “weight off” will decrease the stress that belly fat puts on your lower back. These exercises consist of aerobic-type exercises like running, swimming, cycling, etc. Consult your doctor before starting a new exercise regimen. Additionally, eating a proper diet will give you the best chance at getting to and maintaining a proper weight, for overall better health and avoidance of weight-related health conditions, including pain.

When and why should you consult a chiropractor about your back pain?

Consult a chiropractor certified in Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) when you experience any of the following:
Sharp lower back pain – could be a disc herniation or other acute spine or organ issue that needs to be addressed.
Back pain lasting more than a week – could be something serious that won’t resolve on its own. This is less likely a muscle spasm and more of an injury that should get medical attention.
Pain, coldness, tingling or weakness in the legs, feet or toes – this is generally inflammation of sensory or motor nerves. Vascular issues should be ruled out when more basic spine care does not resolve these symptoms.
A loss of bowel or bladder function – this is a medical emergency, go directly to the ER! – could indicate spinal cord compression and warrants immediate emergency medical attention. After the emergency is taken care of, have your spinal structure thoroughly evaluated by a CBP chiropractor to determine the root cause of the problem.

What should I NOT do if I have back pain?

We recommend that patients who have back pain avoid compressive forces on the disc. This happens with seated as well as standing overhead presses. Also, avoid sit-ups and leg lifts that put significant strain on the lower back. As a general rule, when your back hurts, avoid prolonged sitting. As stated previously, motion is the better course of action.

What’s better, ice or heat?

Ice is best for most acute type pain. It has been proven to be a more effective pain blocker than heat in most cases where injury or inflammation is involved. Heat is more often used for chronic, non-inflammatory conditions such as arthritic degeneration. Ice should be applied as close to the skin as possible, but not directly on the skin. Twenty minutes works best to penetrate the tissue and have a pain-relieving effect.
