Your First Visit to Our Berkeley Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!
Getting To Know You

To help us get to know you will be asked to complete a questionnaire about your health history. The doctor will use this information to help formulate the recommendations for your health care plan.

Consultation With The Doctor

You’ll meet the doctor who will review your health history and determine if your condition can be helped by chiropractic. You will be advised of the cost of any procedures that may be required.

The Physical Examination

A series of standard physical, orthopedic, neurologic and chiropractic tests will be performed to determine the cause of your problem.

X-Ray Examination

These pictures may be necessary to visualize the precise location and severity of any spinal problems, and to reveal any pathology. X-ray information makes your chiropractic care more precise.

Study and Recommendations

Before proper care can be rendered, the doctor will study your examination findings. On your next visit you’ll see your own X-rays, review the doctor’s findings, and get his recommendations for a specific care plan.

Possible Adjunctive Procedures

The doctor may give first aid chiropractic treatment if you are in pain and may prescribe some home care procedures such as the application of ice, heat, exercise or the use of some other procedure to help reduce inflammation and make you more comfortable.

Dr. Mik Asks some important questions of interest to Berkeley residents - Chiropractor Berkeley Dr. Mik Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage.
