Your First Visit to Our Decorah Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

You can expect to be greeted with a friendly smile and a warm office atmosphere.

There will be some paperwork to fill out, which should only take 10 - 15 minutes to complete. Once the paperwork is complete you will have a consultation to discuss your health issue to see how we might be able to help you.

An exam will follow including: chiropractic, neurologic and thermographic tests to locate the cause of your problem. X-rays will be done if necessary to aid in your care. The exam won't hurt and will be very thorough to check out your spine and nerve system. When we have located the area of subluxation, (the problem area), you will receive a specific chiropractic adjustment to begin the process of helping the spinal interference.

After your adjustment you will be given some instructions for self care, and told what you might experience. You can expect your first appointment to last approximately 45 minutes. At the front desk the chiropractic assistant will answer any questions you might have and will schedule you for your next appointment.

Dr. Perry Asks some important questions of interest to Decorah residents - Chiropractor Decorah Dr. Perry Asks...

Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage. Can chiropractic help? Find out!
What causes subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
