Your First Visit to Our Columbia Practice

When you first call Dabbs Rehab, you will usually be able to make an appointment for as soon as that same day.

On your first visit our receptionist will ask you to fill out the requisite paperwork. If you would like, we can show you a six minute video to introduce you to chiropractic health care.

After you have seen the film, the doctor will take your history and ask you what brought you into the office. He or she will do a spinal and orthopedic examination to determine whether chiropractic is an appropriate treatment for you.

If it is found that x-rays would be helpful, as they are in most cases, we will take them in the office.

If you are in acute pain, as happens occasionally, we will treat you with physical therapy modalities, a chiropractic adjustment or both.

Dr. Dabbs Asks some important questions of interest to Columbia residents - Chiropractor Columbia Dr. Dabbs Asks...

Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Columbia and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Columbia chiropractic practice.
