Often new patients can be apprehensive about starting care with a new doctor. Rest assured that Dr. Joseph Merckling will listen to all of your problems and symptoms, formulate a diagnosis, and treatment plan designed to meet and exceed all of your expectations of chiropractic care.

There are different types of care provided here at Merckling Family Chiropractic.

1. Acute Care Conditions these are problems that usually begin suddenly, or as a result of a trauma. Acute conditions have usually been present less than 3 months. These condtions can be very painful and limit your daily activities. We do our best to make fast accurate diagnosis and design a treatment plan to get you on the road to recovery.

2. Chronic Conditions these are conditions that have been present for over 3 months with continuous symptoms. Chronic conditions do respond to chiropractic care, however due to the problem being arouond longer corrrection, and pain relief maybe slower, but it will happen.

3. Wellness Care/Maintenance Care This type of care is for people who don't have any major signs or symptoms and want to stay that way. Periodic Chiropractic care has been shown to promote better blood flow, increase joint mobility, reduce muscle tension/spasms, and increase the immune system (meaning you get sick less). Patients that start out care for Acute or Chronic conditions will frequently enter the Wellness care stage to maintain the benefits they have sustained to enjoy a more painfree, healthy life.
