New Patient Examination

If accepted for examination, the new patient will be tested in several different areas. Of course the area of the main complaint will be thoroughly examined. The patient will also be checked concerning their eyes, ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, pulse, respiration rate, cervical and lumbar range of motion, muscle strength, orthopedic tests, neurological tests, chiropractic balance tests, and gait analysis.

Many specialized diagnostic procedures are performed in the Sheely Chiropractic Clinic and many are available through outside referral sources that make up our Network Team of Chiropractic Services. Depending on the patients needs, several diagnostic tests are available to the Sheely Chiropractic Clinic either in office or by referral to another health facility. Patient examination findings and daily patient notes are documented through state-of-the-art computer systems.   Dr. Sheely uses Dragon Naturally Speaking - voice to typewritten report- to assist in his daily progress notes. He also uses Chiropad and Chiroplus Office for billing and documentation of daily notes and examination findings.

X-Ray Services

Sheely Chiropractic Clinic is equipped with in-house x-ray facilities. If a patient's condition requires x-ray clarification, the proper films can be taken, developed and analyzed in our clinic.

Report of Findings

After the patient has obtained all of the needed tests to diagnose their condition, a consultative Report of Findings will be scheduled to explain all of the findings of the case and the significance to their current health status. If accepted for treatment, Dr. Sheely will show what would be involved to help the patient. It is important to understand the meaning of the test results and how those findings affect current health conditions. A treatment plan will be shown for the patient and any questions can be answered at that time before any treatment would begin.

Rehabilitative Exercises

Sheely Chiropractic Clinic is equipped with Synergy Rehab Equipment to aid patients to regain strength and stability in the areas where they are weak or injured. This rehabilitation in conjunction with the patient's treatment plan of scheduled adjustments and therapy is imperative in bringing the patient to a complete state of recovery for their injuries and/or problem areas.

Massage Therapy (Relaxation or Therapeutic)

Sheely Chiropractic Clinic is staffed by a licensed medical massage therapist who performs relaxation massage for patients who request it and therapeutic massage for patients who require them as a part of their treatment. Massage is performed in the clinic. Therapeutic massage is billed to any appropriate insurance the patient may carry. Non-patients are also accepted for relaxation massage care.

Weight Loss Programs

Sheely Chiropractic Clinic offers three options for supporting patients in weight-loss programs which are nutritionally sound and monitored by staff.

Take-Shape-For-Life is a rapid weight-loss program which can be implemented by patients under the doctor's supervision. This program incorporates food supplements/replacements to aid the patient in safe, rapid weight loss. Weekly monitoring of this weight-loss progress is provided by staff under the doctor's supervision. Click below to see the weight-loss story of one of our successful Take Shape for Life patients.

Weight Loss Success - The Amy Cox Story

Living Well for Life is a moderate weight-loss program which can be implemented by patients under the doctor's supervision. This program incorporates lifestyle changes and balanced, light meals to aid the patient in safe, continuous weight loss. Weekly monitoring of this weight-loss progress is provided by staff under the doctor's supervision.

As a third option, Sheely Chiropractic offers a weekly monitoring program under the supervision of the doctor by clinic staff to aid patients who are pursuing an individual weight-loss program but would benefit from the support and weekly monitoring program.

Preventative/Maintenance Plans

Sheely Chiropractic offers several options for patients who have reached a maximum level of improvement and wish to maintain their optimal health. Preventative packages are available which offer maintenance patients the option of choosing their preventative plan which may consist of monthly massage, chiropractic care, nutritional support, and/or weight-loss monitoring...as their needs and preferences dictate.

Nutritional Counseling and Support

Sheely Chiropractic offers nutritional counseling and nutritional support. As many symptoms and conditions are partially or wholly due to nutritional needs, offering nutritional support is a natural extension of the care available through the clinic.

Nutritional Support Available

Also, as an alternative to prescription medication which often results in negative side effects, Sheely Chiropractic Clinic offers natural supplements and enzymes in special formula combinations to counteract patients' diagnosed conditions which are in need of supplemental/enzyme intervention.
