The first time we see you, we will make a thorough record of your health history. This helps us to pinpoint the actual problem instead of focusing on just the symptoms.
Next, the doctor will perform an examination. A number of specialized tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent. The doctor may examine other areas depending on your specific complaints.
Once finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, you will generally be provided with their first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, acupuncture, chineses medicines and/or physical therapy procedures to make you feel more comfortable.
Prior to leaving you will be given self-treatment advice which may include the application of ice or heat, any activities or positions to avoid, and home exercises and/or stretches to help relieve pain and speed healing.
You will be given an appointment time for your follow-up visit. Patients are usually seen within 1-2 days. Dr. Sturdevant or Dr. Fogel will explain what their finding, and what type of treatment will bring you back to health. Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed during this time.

Acupuncture Offers Benefits in Alleviating Breast Cancer Treatment Side-Effects
by: Dave Gabriele, citizen journalist
(NaturalNews) A 2008 American study, which appeared in the September issue of The International Journal of Radiation Oncology, examined the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating women coping with the side effects of conventional breast cancer medicine. Eleanor Walker, M.D., a radiation oncologist at the Henry Ford Hospital Department of Radiation Oncology in Detroit, led a team of researchers to compare acupuncture treatment with the common anti-estrogen treatment used to control breast cancer therapy side effects. The side effects, such as hot flashes and depression, affect about 80% of women treated for breast cancer and are usually treated by the pharmaceutical anti-depressant venlafaxine (Effexor). Many breast cancer patients refuse venlafaxine because of its own set of negative side effects.
