What happens at my first appointment?

Your initial visit at Integrated Chiropractic begins with a thorough consultation during which Dr. Joseph reviews your health history, current symptoms, and goals. He will then perform a comprehensive physical and orthopedic examination. In most cases, digital X-rays are taken in the office during the first visit to provide a clear diagnostic picture before treatment begins. Dr. Joseph reviews your results with you and discusses your diagnosis and recommended care plan before any treatment is performed.

Does Dr. Joseph take X-rays before adjusting?

Yes, in most cases. Dr. Joseph uses in-office digital X-ray technology to evaluate spinal alignment, disc spacing, and any structural abnormalities before performing chiropractic adjustments. This ensures every treatment decision is informed by an accurate clinical picture. Digital X-rays at Integrated Chiropractic use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays and produce results instantly.

Does Integrated Chiropractic accept walk-ins?

What types of chiropractic adjustments does Dr. Joseph use?

Dr. Joseph is skilled in both traditional manual chiropractic adjustments and instrument-assisted adjusting using the Impulse Adjusting Instrument® — a computerized device that delivers precise, controlled, low-force adjustments. Instrument adjusting is especially beneficial for patients who prefer a gentler experience, older adults, children, or patients with conditions that make manual high-velocity adjustments less suitable.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the safest, most evidence-supported forms of conservative musculoskeletal treatment available. Dr. Joseph takes X-rays before adjusting, reviews each patient’s health history thoroughly, and selects the most appropriate technique for every individual. Serious adverse events from chiropractic adjustments are extremely rare. Most patients experience only mild, temporary soreness after their first few adjustments.

Does Integrated Chiropractic offer massage therapy?

Yes. Integrated Chiropractic has a licensed massage therapist (LMT) on staff, available by appointment. Our LMT offers deep tissue massage, sports massage, Swedish massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release techniques.

What is Kinesio Taping and does Dr. Joseph offer it?

Does Integrated Chiropractic treat car accident injuries?

What weight loss programs does Integrated Chiropractic offer?

Dr. Joseph offers two medically supervised weight loss programs at Integrated Chiropractic: Ideal Protein and ChiroThin. Both use carbohydrate restriction to promote fat burning while preserving lean muscle mass, and include weekly health coaching, body composition monitoring, and nutritional guidance. These programs are also available in combination with LipoMelt body sculpting and contour and red light therapy for comprehensive body transformation results.

What is LipoMelt body sculpting?

LipoMelt® is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive body contouring technology that uses red and near-infrared light to temporarily release fat from stubborn areas, which the body then naturally eliminates through the lymphatic system. Treatments are painless, require no downtime, and take approximately 30 minutes per session. LipoMelt is not a weight loss treatment — it is most effective for patients at or near their goal weight who want to refine specific areas.

Does Integrated Chiropractic offer custom foot orthotics?

Yes. Dr. Joseph prescribes and fits Sole Supports custom foot orthotics — precision-crafted devices designed from exact casts and measurements of your feet. Custom orthotics are significantly more effective than store-bought insoles for treating plantar fasciitis, heel pain, overpronation, and lower extremity pain related to poor foot mechanics.

How does Dr. Joseph approach mental health conditions like anxiety and depression?
