Are You in Pain?

by chiropractic-nyc on April 23, 2012

When a patient is in pain or discomfort are they supposed to be seen right away? Dr. Steven Schram says, “absolutely.”

One of the immediate benefits of chiropractic care is that there is far less waiting time for patients who are in acute pain and need to be seen quickly. General practitioners often book appointments in such a way that there is always a wait-a wait for the appointment day, a wait for referrals to another specialist, a wait for the appointment with them…Oh, wait!

For all the time spent waiting to get in to see a general practitioner, a chiropractic doctor like Dr. Steven Schram will have you seen, examined and treated. You would be well on your way to relief. Chiropractic care can find the root problem of many distressing conditions-migraines, joint pain, allergies, sprains, pulled muscles…the list of things chiropractors can treat is long. But your wait to have them treated shouldn’t be. Dr. Steven Schram will go to great lengths to see and treat any patient that is experiencing pain the same day they call in.
