Who We Treat
We treat essentially any type of patient, you're never too old, nor too
young to be adjusted. Most sports injuries can be
rehabilitated very successfully under conservative management.
Many conditions that require drugs to mask symptoms can also be
treated
very successfully under chiropractic care. If however, Dr. Paton
feels that the patient may be better served by another form of
healthcare, he will refer that patient down the proper medical or
physical therapy or massage therapy channel.
Who we treat:
Patients of any age. Our youngest patient was a few hours old and our
oldest patient was 89. A patient being a few hours old may be a
surprise to some, however the birth process can be very traumatic and
corrections must be made as quickly as possible. The correction, or
adjustment is so light that it is accomplished with the doctor's
fingertips. There is no twisting or turning ever done on a newborn's
spine. So many of my patients knew that I have treated so many babies,
that they've referred their friends' and families' with babies. I've
helped many babies who were diagnosed with various conditions, namely
colic. Like all the rest of us, a baby's spine can hurt too, and their
only way to let us know that something is wrong is to scream
uncontrollably. Often times it's the mom who brings the baby in, and
often times they're apprehensive and reluctant because they didn't know
how safe chiropractic was. However, by the second or third visit, the
dad then comes in to say things like "thanks - this is the first time
in a while that I've had a good night sleep, please keep doing whatever
you're doing". The best part about babies is that the correction is
usually made within one or two adjustments - that's it!
