Adjustments are specific and purposeful, based on a thorough evaluation. Dr. Lamarche works the full spine with the precision complex cases require.
No adjustment at visit one. Every care plan starts with a 60–90 minute evaluation to identify what is actually wrong.
Dr. Lamarche is trained and comfortable treating the cervical spine and other technically demanding regions many providers avoid.
Adjustments are always paired with exercise therapy and DNS retraining — structural correction alone rarely produces lasting results.
Most chiropractic practices use the same adjustment technique on every patient. Dr. Lamarche selects her approach based on what the examination reveals — whether that's a high-velocity manipulation, instrument-assisted technique, or a gentler mobilization for patients who require it.
The cervical spine in particular demands a provider who has done the clinical work to be competent and confident there. Many providers avoid it. Dr. Lamarche includes it when indicated.
An adjustment restores joint motion and reduces nerve interference — but that's only part of what's needed for lasting results. Here's how adjustments fit into the full plan.
The first visit is always a comprehensive examination. No adjustment happens until Dr. Lamarche knows exactly what she's working with and why.
Precise manipulation addresses the specific joint restrictions identified in the evaluation — not a routine head-to-toe crack.
Adjustments create a window of opportunity. Exercise therapy ensures the nervous system learns to hold the correction and builds the surrounding support.
For chronic or recurrent cases, deeper neuromuscular retraining addresses the stabilization deficit that allowed the problem to develop in the first place.
Precise chiropractic care starts with a thorough diagnosis. The first visit is 60–90 minutes and covers everything Dr. Lamarche needs to build an effective plan.
