Description of Treatment Technique
Dr. Moffatt’s treatment technique is specifically designed to correct postural imbalances in the spine and pelvis regions. Because the nervous system (primarily the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots) is directly related to the spine and pelvis, postural imbalances and misalignments within these structures decrease the function of the nervous system, and ultimately cause most of the health conditions that humans suffer with. By identifying and correcting postural misalignments in the spine and pelvis, Dr. Moffatt restores optimal function to his patients’ nervous system. An optimally functioning nervous system allows the body to heal to the best of its ability. By recognizing this relationship between posture and health, Dr. Moffatt has helped patients heal from many frustrating conditions including Fibromyalgia, Heartburn, Asthma, Ear Infections and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, just to name a few.
How does Dr. Moffatt identify postural misalignments?
To identify postural imbalances and misalignments in the spine and pelvis, Dr. Moffatt must first perform a thorough evaluation. This evaluation includes the following:
- Detailed Consultation with the Patient
- Postural Evaluation
- Spinal Range of Motion Assessment
- Palpation of Vertebrae and Spinal Musculature
- Spinal / Pelvic X-rays
After performing this evaluation, Dr. Moffatt takes time to review the results, and schedules a report of findings with the patient. During the report of findings, Dr. Moffatt educates the patient about the nervous system and spinal posture, and also about the consequences of poor posture. He then reviews the results of the previous evaluation with the patient, explaining where the postural misalignments exist and relating them to the patient’s health concerns. He also takes time to answer all of the patient’s questions. At this time, he explains the different treatment options based on the patient’s desired results.
Dr. Moffatt’s treatment technique also recognizes that there are more components to health than just chiropractic. To fully address a patient’s health concerns, he also discusses other important aspects of health including nutrition, exercise and ergonomics.
Occasionally a patient presents with a problem for which chiropractic care is not the best form of treatment. In such an event, Dr. Moffatt always refers the patient to the appropriate health care provider.
