Patient Forms
Upon entering our office our receptionist will greet you and welcome you as a member of our family. We will request you complete our patient forms located in the New Patient Center. The paperwork provides us with general information about you, your condition, and how it affects your life.
Consultation
Next you will have a consultation with one of our Doctors of Chiropractic to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for our doctor to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will you meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, one of our doctors will perform a complete chiropractic examination which may include testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurologic, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

The Adich Clinic has joined a growing number of chiropractic clinics that have upgraded their level of care to assess the health and wellbeing of their community. Patients of The Adich Clinic can now be examined by the Insight Subluxation Station™ , a non intrusive technology which is a neuro-spinal functional evaluation system originally designed to measure changes in the spinal muscles of astronauts. It's technology has since been expanded to evaluation of all three areas of the nervous system: the sensory(pain) system, the motor(muscle and joint) system, and the autonomic(gland, organ, and blood vessel) system. It now combines five tests into one single grade of neuro-spinal functioning called the NSFi.
Our doctors use the Insight™ technology to measure the effects of Vertebral Subluxation Complexes. For example, spinal dysfunction or misalignment disturbs the muscle’s regular nerve function, causing an abnormal amount of electrical flow to the muscles and creating other health problems. The Insight Subluxation Station™ measures the electrical flow and charts it using graphics that show the spine and the far reaching effects of Vertebral Subluxation Complexes on the sensory, motor, and autonomic nervous systems. This allows for increased accuracy in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. 
The Insight™ technology used by Dr. Adich has also received exclusive certification as a Certified Space Technology™ by The Space Foundation, which is co-founded by NASA. 
X-Ray Studies
Your specific condition may require us to order x-rays to to get a full evaluation of a patient. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. Most people are amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, our doctor will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions:
- Can you help me?
- What do you recommend that I do to get better?
- How much is it going to cost?
After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays or tests, our doctor will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If our doctor believes we can help you, we will recommend treatment and a wellness program.
Chiropractic Treatment
Patients will generally be provided with their first treatment at the conclusion of the appointment. Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with. Our Doctors of Chiropractic correct Subluxation Complexes with manual or Activator Methods®.These chiropractic adjustments restore proper motion of the joints and muscles and optimize nervous system control.A properly functioning nervous system is essential for a healthy body. Chiropractic adjustments decrease pain and spasm, increase motion and circulation, and promote healing and performance. Chiropractic is also beneficial as wellness care, to improve health and the body’s natural ability to resist disease and injury. We offer unequalled treatments for disc injuries, peripheral nerve entrapments, headaches, neck and back pain, and other conditions.
Our doctors incorporate a variety of specialty techniques with your chiropractic adjustments. We teach our patients stretches, exercises and lifestyle improvements when appropriate to further the benefits of our care. Our goal is to relieve your pain, restore your function, prevent recurrence, and create a healthier and more active you!
Corrective Exercises
We often teach our patients special exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can significantly improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
Lifestyle Advice
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients. The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining a healthy posture and good spinal health, eating a healthy diet, exercising and stretching regularly, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and stress relief measures.
