Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Rand to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Rand to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how we can meet your goals.
Evaluation
After your consultation, Dr. Rand will give you an evaluation to determine if your condition will respond to spinal decompression therapy. At that time, if we determine that you are a candidate, we will explain our "feel better or money back" program. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
X-Ray Studies
Please bring copies of your MRI or CT or CAT scan with you to your initial consultation.
Report of Findings
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Rand will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your condition, Dr. Rand will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Dr. Rand will provide the best treatment and wellness program for your needs.
Treatment
Using a special table, hooked up to a computer, the discs are stretched, creating a vacuum in the disc. This vacuum actually pulls nutrients and fluids into the disc and can even draw the nerniated center of the disc back in. Then, as the disc compresses again, it squeezes toxins out. This stretching and compression cycle is repeated over and over during the treatment.
Clinical studies have shown a 71% to 86% success rate using Spinal Decompression Therapy. Dr. Rand supplements this therapy and gets even greater results.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.
