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, Brianna or Carissa, 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...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
