The Cox table is used for patients who require traction of their spine. It is a wonderful tool, asked for by many patients to gently stretch the spine before doing traditional hands-on adjustments.
What to Expect
Your first visit:
Fill out a simple one-page form, then spend 10 to 15 minutes in-depth discussion one-on-one with Dr. Matheson. Then another 10 to 15 minutes on a thorough examination from posture to orthopedic testing to determine what the problem is and if, or how, Chiropractic can help.
Dr. Matheson will end the first visit with some care aimed at providing some immediate relief.
Follow-up routine visits:
Subsequent treatment visits are where the bulk of the work is done to improve a patient’s health. Each time Dr. Kevin will re-examine the spine and any joints that need help. Then he will perform gentle hands-on adjustments, followed by assessing the muscle tension and doing some muscle release techniques when necessary. This is followed by re-examining the spine afterwards and exercises may be prescribed.
We’ve Got Your Back
Dr. Kevin Matheson has been busy in practice since 1986, treating thousands of patients from newborns to older seniors. Dr. Kevin is a second-generation Chiropractor; his father and brother were also Chiropractors. Dr. Kevin takes his time with patients to find out first about their main complaint, the reason they wanted to see a Chiropractor, and then as much about their overall health as he can. All these things are considered when performing a thorough examination to determine what the problem is and how chiropractic can help. Then he takes his time explaining all this and roughly what type of treatment schedule would be recommended for each individual.
Once a patient is out of pain, and feeling more like themselves, chiropractic can be very preventative, helping to keep you well with everything from home exercises and muscle release techniques to tips on posture. General wellness lifestyle principles are encouraged to help everyone live as healthy as they can, naturally.
Wellness consultations
Dr. Kevin Matheson is a Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner through the International Chiropractic Association. He was one of the first Chiropractors to be Wellness Certified in Canada.
For patients interested in doing more beyond the scope of chiropractic treatments, and exercise, Dr. Kevin does a one-on-one 45-minute session where he goes over your wellness questionnaire to illuminate areas of your lifestyle like Eating, Moving, and Thinking Well that can be improved upon easily. We care about all the things you do outside of our office that can have a positive or negative impact on your health. Our focus is on improving all the positive things you can do while quietly letting go of things such as stress, eating, or sitting too much.
Gentle Hands-on Adjustments
What makes Chiropractic so successful? Research shows Chiropractors’ ability to successfully restore mobility to joints thereby reducing the irritation (or pinching) of nerves. We do this by performing adjustments, or manipulations of the joints, most commonly on the vertebrae of the spine. This is further helped by releasing tension on the related muscles. Trigger point therapy, stripping, or simply stretching muscles, are all techniques for reducing muscle tension. These are all somewhat effective on their own, but when you add Chiropractic adjustments to the related areas of the spine, or other joints, we see better relief.
Adjusting the joints is usually a very simple, gentle procedure. It sometimes makes a ‘cracking’ noise, but not always. It usually feels good afterwards and only occasionally is tender if the area is particularly tight and inflamed to begin with. Most patients are very satisfied after an adjustment because they can feel better mobility, better posture, and even more energy. In rough cases, Dr. Matheson may recommend the addition of a few sessions with the Multi-Stim Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Device. The next step in care is to prescribe the best exercises to do at home that will continue to loosen up the joints and muscles allowing the improvement of the treatment to last as long as possible.
Our goals for our patients here at Matheson Chiropractic are first to provide relief and help patients get out of pain as quickly as possible. Then we want to restore normal function and alignment of the spine and other joints. Finally, we work with you to gain control of your problem with special tips for posture and other home exercises including stretching and rehabilitative strengthening. We are dedicated to helping patients feel well so they can enjoy life at their optimum level of health and wellness.
