Get a Detailed and Thorough Examination

Each exam is specific and tailored to you. It will be focused on your specific complaints, conditions, and needs, as each individual is unique. When you visit the office, Dr. Rizer will conduct a comprehensive history and examination to determine if chiropractic care can be beneficial for you.

While Dr. Rizer understands that there are appropriate times for medications and surgeries, if he can help you heal using a hands-on approach and other techniques and modalities offered in the practice, he would instead do that first.

Detailed Care with Motion Palpation Assessment Delivers Precision Adjustments

Dr. Rizer is an expert in Motion Palpation, a specialized chiropractic technique that involves assessing the movement of the joints in the spine or extremities. Using the motion palpation, he will feel and test the joints to determine if they are functioning properly. If he detects a joint that is restricted or limited in motion, he precisely determines where an adjustment needs to be made. This method ensures that adjustments are only made to the joints that require correction, providing more targeted and effective treatment. Dr. Rizer can perform chiropractic adjustments on the spine or extremities using his hands or an instrument such as an Activator. Although this approach may take more time and effort, the results can be more beneficial for you. By actively participating in this process, you will experience the difference in care that sets Dr. Rizer apart in the field of chiropractic, and can improve the quality of care you receive.
