SCOPE OF PRACTICE
The Doctors at Arlington Chiropractic Clinic, per Illinois law, treat "all human ailments without the use of drugs or surgery". We diagnose and treat many human adult and childhood disorders and conditions. We offer various treatment options to our patients. However, if it is appropriate, we first recommend conservative treatment, before invasive treatments such as drugs, injections, surgery.
Urgent or emergency-type conditions are handled through standard immediate emergency protocols. Those conditions which we feel would be best treated by other doctors, other specialists, by prescription medications or surgery are referred to other specialists. We maintain a referral network of many medical doctors, hospitals, labs and other health resources for our patient needs. We accept referrals from your primary care physician, and we communicate with him/her regarding your treatment.
