PROCESS
When you bring the forms in to Dr.Lukas' office, you will then hand the forms to our receptionist who will put it together for Dr. Lukas. During your first consultation, Dr. Lukas will be going over a thorough history and evaluation. This will include a thermographic scan of your atlas. At that time, Dr. Lukas will determine if an X-Ray is needed for further evaluation.
The results of your evaluation and specific X-Rays will be gone over with you in great detail. If your condition is one that can be helped through Upper Cervical care, we will go over that with you. However, if we cannot manage to help you, we will tell you that too.
We pride ourselves in being thorough and spending the necessary time for each individual. Your questions are welcomed and we will gladly take the necessary time to explain the answers.
Should you need an atlas adjustment, you will be surprised at how little time it takes and how virtually painless the procedure is. Surprisingly, there is absolutely no twisting or turning of the head or neck. The sound of an atlas getting adjusted has been compared to that of a bag of ice getting "squeezed" or a boot stepping in snow, which makes the slightest "crunching" sound.
As for what you will feel after an adjustment -- Most people do not feel IMMEDIATE relief of their symptoms. Like other bodily functions, when the body heals itself, it does take time. However, most people DO feel a sense of warmth, and some even may feel a slight sense of euphoria. This is because communication between the brain and the rest of the body is suddenly improved...more blood starts to flow and brain-to-body signals improve.
Again, we want to take this opportunity to expound on the fact that this Upper Cervical procedure cures nothing. It simply restores body balance and brain-to-body communication so that limbs, organs and tissues can resume normal functioning. The body can now heal itself. That is why we see many different conditions and symptoms responding well to the same procedure.
After your first visit, you will then be rescheduled for another appointment. The amount of time in between your first and second visit all depends on how well your first adjustment goes, if you need one at all.
If you cannot make your scheduled appointment, please kindly notify us as soon as possible.
