The primary goal with all patients who present to me is to determine, to the best of my ability, the cause of your health concern. This is important, because just treating symptoms without addressing the cause of the problem will not provide the long-term relief you are seeking.

The goal of most health care professionals is to provide treatment to return you to your pre-injury status. Implicit in this goal is the assumption that your pre-injury state was your optimum level of well-being and function.

Dr. Audrey's view is that your body has been on the decline long before you experienced the injury, illness and pain. The injury, illness and pain was only a wake up call for you to pause and take stock of what has been taking place with your life-mind, body and spirit. Returning you to your pre-injury status without providing you the tools for a newer and higher way of functioning only serves to help perpetuate the same reason for seeking help in the first place.

Her unique objectives are to:

1. Help you understand the anatomy of your injury and how it relates to your decreased level of well-being and function. 2. Help your body re-connect with your nervous system which is the main controlling system of your body, so that real healing at the core can take place. 3. Help you learn new ways of operating and functioning at a higher level of efficiency so that your overall life no longer has a place for injury or illness. 4. Help your internal experience of living reflect a higher quality of wellness and life enjoyment.

To help achieve these goals, you will first undergo a thorough Chiropractic evaluation. This evaluation will include an initial history/consultation to discuss your problem in detail. Particular attention will be paid to the musculoskeletal system and its relationship to the nervous system. Following this consultation, you will undergo a comprehensive Chiropractic, Orthopedic and Neurologic examination to assist in identifying the cause of your problem. When deemed necessary, X-ray or laboratory testing will be recommended to aid in better identifying the source of your problem.

Following this examination, should you have a problem that Chiropractic science can address, you will be accepted as a patient.  Initial care may then be started at this point.  At any time during this process, should a medical evaluation be necessary, you will be gladly referred to your personal primary care physician.

At this stage, the findings of the examination will be presented to you.  Dr. Audrey will explain each phase of your treatment program to you, so that you will understand all that is required to achieve maximum improvement. 

All patients are different and should be treated as individuals.  Dr. Audrey strongly believes that patients who

1. Are well informed and

2. Are willing to be partners with their doctor in addressing their health issues, receive a higher quality of care than patients who simply defer all decisions to their health care provider.  

Through our partnership in health, we will be able to find real solutions to your health concerns which will result in direct experience of well-being and optimum performance in your life.

In essence, Dr. Audrey helps you achieve greater well-being and a higher level of function through:

        •  Network Spinal Analysis (NSA)

        •  Somato-respiratory integration (SRI) based on the 12-stages of Healing, and

        •  Supplying the body with the right nutrients for the self to repair and regenerate.
