What Do I Need To Know Before My Examination

After a complimentary consultation, a prospective patient may elect to proceed with a specific correction examination. The exam may also be scheduled for a later time if you so choose. As always, the decision is yours, and there is never any pressure. Unlike some chiropractic exams, which are performed in 15 minutes by someone other than the doctor, this exam will be thoroughly performed by Dr. Gessert to identify the nature of your segmental displacement. The specific structural correction exam is very comprehensive, so you should plan for no less then 45 minutes of your time.

What to expect during our Specific Correction Examination:

  • Digital Specific Radiographs
  • Multiaxial Spinal Assessment (MASA)
  • Structural Digital Photographs
  • Bilateral Weight Assessment
  • Neurologic and Orthopedic Assessment

**Please be prepared to dress appropriately for the examination. It is required that you have athletic/ gym clothing available for accurate structural assessment.**

After the examination, if a segmental displacement has been confirmed, a follow up conference to review the results will be scheduled. Dr. Gessert will discuss the nature of your segmental displacement, care options, and deliver your first specific correction.

Customer Reviews

  • Dr.Andrew Gessert is an outstanding professional with amazing skill in adjusting my neck and spine. I can continue in my sport feeling great after an adjustment. You don't know how great you can feel till your nerves and spine are aligned. Thank you Dr. Gessert.

  • I started seeing Dr. Andrew last summer after my Cross Fit coach listened to my complaints about my body and urged me to get a consultation. It’s now been almost a full year, and not only do I feel so much better physically—much less chronic pain—but I feel much more in touch and in tune with my body, due to the treatment he provides, and also the at-home stretching that he prescribed. Dr. Andrew is friendly and always takes the time to listen to how I’m feeling, and he never fails to amaze me at how he can assess my physical problems and use his training to correct them. I would recommend him to anyone who has pain and wants to feel better!

Every thing is very well explained and measured. My results have been great. Life changing. Highly recommended.

  • I’m very impressed with Dr. Gessert’s skill in adjusting my neck and spine; especially given the fact that I have had numerous orthopedic surgeries. Not only am I walking straighter, he also provided me with an ongoing strengthening plan to maintain the results I am happily experiencing. Highly recommend a visit to Pivotal Chiropractic.
