Dr. King has been practicing over 25 years and has learned and developed a variety of adjustment procedures in the course of treating thousands of satisfied patients through Chiropractic Care. His basic approach is to first handle the patient's immediate concern whether it is a pain or other condition.
After that, he offers follow-up care to further stabilize the patient's condition. At each level of care it is ALWAYS the patient's decision to continue or not continue. (Dr. King respects the patient's choices and hopes the patient will always choose his office for any future treatment needs.)
Next, the patient may elect to continue with follow a course of regular maintenance treatment which typically is once a month to maintain the corrections achieved and further prevent relapse and return of the original condition.
Chiropractic Care on a regular basis helps improve a person's general health and well-being by keeping the nervous system at it's optimal level. The nervous system is the key to both recovery and good health. Messages from the brain to the spinal chord and out to all the peripheral nerves to all the vital organs and tissues of the body is the key.
Many people do not understand the importance of good nerve transmission. But when suddenly there is a disruption of the nerve due to trauma, it becomes starkly evident how important nerve energy can be. The most memorable case of loss of nerve supply from the brain to the tissues was that of the late Christopher Reeves. Many other victims from motor vehicle accidents become confined to wheel chairs by similar loss of nerve supply. But it doesn't take an extremely severe accident to create slight impairment of nerve energy. Many of the things we do everyday can slowly cause pressures in the spine due to misalignment of the vertebrae. That is what Dr. King and other Chiropractors work to correct. With the correction of these misaligned bones of the spine, patients are able to recover from painful conditions. But more than that, when patients choose to continue Chiropractic Care even when they have no symptoms, they often experience a higher degree of health and well-being. So instead of just feeling "okay", they feel GREAT.
This is the approach of Dr. King to facillitate the patient's overall good health. The way he is able to do this even when there is little or no pain is by monitoring the Nervous System with special instruments called: THERMOGRAPHY and Surface ELECROMYOGRAPHY. These testing methods are part of Dr. King's initial visit --- at NO EXTRA COST to the patient. Dr. King feels it's better to KNOW you are better, not just FEEL better. The instruments will tell how the patient is progressing, rather than guessing based on symptom relief. If patients are treated only for their symptoms and not for conditions to improve their health which they cannot feel, they will eventually have symptoms return again and again. Dr. King's goal is to stop the pains from returning by getting patients to better levels of health.
At the Marina Playa Chiropractic Center your care starts with an amazing view which is peaceful and healing. All treatment is provided in a relaxed, semi-private setting with the patient's in street clothing. Examinations are conducted in a private setting with the patient in a gown.
Marina Playa Chiropractic Center is open most days of the week from 10 A.M. to 7 P.M. Friday is only available by special appointment authorized by Dr. King. Saturday hours are typically from 8 A.M. to Noon. There is almost no wait time since Dr. King realizes patients on the Westside are all very busy people with limited time schedules.
Appointment in advance is recommended but walk-ins are also welcome. Usually short-term call-ins and walk-ins can be accommodated within an hour on the same day as they call or stop by. The first visit usually takes a good 3/4 hour and follow-up visits are only 10 to 20 minutes depending on the extent of care.
We WELCOME visitors anytime. Stop by. It's worth the view.
