What to Expect
In some ways, one could say that chiropractic care is a bit like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work together correctly. When building a house, if you tried to build your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually may even collapse. If you tried to build your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. These concepts apply to your body as well, and chiropractic care addresses many common reasons why people experience pain and other health issues. If something is not right with your body’s foundation, than that needs to be addressed before true health can be achieved. With chiropractic care, your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully.
With each visit for chiropractic care, Dr. Jansen provides soft tissue treatment to enhance the effectiveness of the adjustments. If additional massage therapy is indicated, referrals will be made available.
Length of Care
For chiropractic care, our goal is to provide short terms acute care that produces lasting results. Most patients experience significant relief of their symptoms within 4-6 visits. Once a maximum of improvement is reached, Dr. Jansen will encourage you to return for periodic treatment to maintain your restored health.

Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing “state of the art” chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Jansen has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.
Corrective Exercises
At Jansen Chiropractic, we teach our patients how to perform special “blueprint” exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from Dr. Jansen will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to see Dr. Jansen to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While Dr. Jansen will address each patient’s specific condition with chiropractic care, he often finds it helpful to “coach” patients toward achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities they enjoy most. Dr. Jansen recognizes that every single patient is a whole person, and he uses his expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.
Nutritional Counseling
What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal Dr. Jansen provides specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by Dr. Jansen can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Jansen can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs.
