What To Expect On Your First Visit

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

We try to make your first visit at Preferred Chiropractic as comfortable as possible. We'll begin with the paperwork….about 4 pages worth. We realize that you may be in pain, so we have soft leather chairs for your comfort.

Next, if necessary, we will take a set of x-rays which will provide us with vital information concerning the source of your pain. X-ray results will be thoroughly explained to you. You will never be rushed and we encourage you ask any questions that you like. The more educated you are about the nature of your condition or injury, the less likely you will re-injure this area in the future.

We do realize that x-rays are a personal choice and we respect your right to waive them. If you choose to do so, simply fill out an x-ray waiver and then we're on to the next step in your care.

If the area of pain involves swelling or muscle tightness or spasm any one of 4 therapies may be used. These are Electric Muscle Stimulation, Healing Ultrasound, Laser or Percussion Massage. Depending on the nature of your injury, usually 1-2 therapies are used. One to reduce pain, another to reduce swelling or spasm, etc.

Next, if the area in pain allows, we will perform gentle corrections to that area. We can do this by hand or through instrumentation, depending on the circumstance.

We realize that there is always a little stress involved when beginning something new, so we considered this factor when designing our office....relaxing colors, easy listening music and a relaxed atmosphere are all part of the experience. We look forward to meeting you and helping you recover as fast as possible.

Dr. Prefer, DC Asks some important questions of interest to Palm Beach Gardens residents - Chiropractor Palm Beach Gardens Dr. Prefer, DC Asks...

Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Palm Beach Gardens and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic patient knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.
What is the significance of "growing pains?"
Chiropractors know that aches or pains at any age mean something's not right. In fact, many children go through stages of growth without aches or pains. So while "growing pains" may be common, they're not normal. That's why our Palm Beach Gardens chiropractic practice sees lots of children. A chiropractic checkup for your child can often help detect and correct problems that are more difficult to correct in Palm Beach Gardens adults.
