The Patients
Patients of all ages have experienced the benefits of chiropractic care with Dr. Lanett. Most come to her through personal, word of mouth referrals. She enjoys treating the diverse adult population living in the Bay Area, and also welcomes children, pregnant women, and the elderly. The low force technique, Activator Method, utilitzed in the office is particularly helpful for those with sensitive bodies, frail bones or a general fear of 'cracking' the spine used by traditional chiropractors.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit will take approximately one hour. Follow-up visits are about 30 minutes.

Brief Paperwork
Upon entering the office, there will be some brief paperwork for you to fill out. You may also download the patient forms here. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.

History & Examination
Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related problems and concerns. Next, a number of specialized physical, neurological and orthopedic tests will be performed to determine which joints and tissues are affected and to what extent.

The doctor will decide if additional tests outside the office might be needed at the time of the examination and advise you on how to get them while still monitoring your care.

Same Day Treatment
Once finished with the examination and all appropriate studies, you will generally be provided with a chiropractic treatment during this same visit. This usually includes gentle chiropractic manipulations (an ‘adjustment’) to the spine or extremities using the Doctors hands or using a small hand-held Activator instrument. The treatment is low force and painless.

Chiropractic treatment may also include one or more of several physiotherapeutic modalities. The doctor may use heat in the form of hydrocolator packs or ultrasound, cryotherapy, TENS, Microcurrent, paraffin and others. When appropriate, topical pain relieving creams may be recommended. Also, instruction may be given in the form of light stretching or a home exercise program to maximize muscle strength and flexibility.

Home Instructions
Prior to leaving, you will be given instructions on certain activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may include instructions on ice or heat application, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches.

Dr. Lanett encourages active participation for your health care beyond the specific pain or discomfort that may have initially brought you to see her. She often instructs you in home or health club exercises, stretching and strengthening programs designed to optimize biomechanical movement. A physioball or theraband is often used to enhance core muscle strength and flexibility.

Schedule Your Next Appointment
You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit to monitor your progress.
