Your First Visit to Our Westerly Practice

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

You can expect to spend about 30 to 45 minutes on your first visit to our Westerly office.  This will include time for paperwork, a thorough history and a chiropractic examination.

All you need to bring is an attitude towards getting healthier.

Upon entering the office, our assistants Simone or Kim will greet you and offer their help with a few pieces of paperwork.  You can make yourself at home during your first visit because you will have exclusive private time with the doctor.

After a complete health history and consultation, Dr. Kerszko will give a quick 2 minute synopsis of what chiropractic is and then lead you to the exam room to find out exactly what shape your spine is in.  The doctor starts out with an in depth spinal examination.  Then, Dr. Kerszko describes key factors in determining if Subluxations exist in your spine and what nerves and organs may be involved as well.

This leads us to the last and most important part of the examination. Dr. Kerszko will then examine specific points, called Subluxations, in the Nerve System that are putting pressure on the nerves.  These subluxations are what is causing a lack of health in the body and are the focus of your care in the office.

At this point, the doctor can determine if any more tests are required or if recommendations for care can be made at this point.

 Dr. Chris Asks some important questions of interest to Westerly residents - Chiropractor Westerly Dr. Chris Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage.
