What to Expect with Dr. Chris Lipat DC
1. Change + enLIGHTenment = Transformational Healing! At your initial visit, Dr. Lipat will review your goals and health issues with you and discuss how her unique mind-body energy medicine approach can help you achieve your goals. If you decide to go the next step, Dr. Lipat will conduct a holistic chiropractic exam to establish a health baseline. Using kinesiology, she will address the health of your spine and nervous system, but also address the possibility of fascial adhesions, food sensitivities, heavy metal burdens, toxin overload, hormone imbalances, energetic blocks, past life/ancestral trauma and neuroemotional stressors in this comprehensive initial visit. Dr. Lipat sees your health as a multifactorial experience, and intervenes on all these levels to support you in healing. And true healing means emerging into the expansiveness that allows you to serve the world with your unique skill set and point of view!
Spinal alignment is gentle - Dr. Lipat uses low force adjusting tools and deep tissue percussive therapy to treat muscle tightness and fascial adhesions, rather manual spinal adjustments. She applies Reiki where needed, clears emotional blockages with neuroemotional homeopathic and EFT/tapping approaches, and balances on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes. She supports you in aligning with positive emotions and powerful affirmations. In addition to nutrition and dietary recommendations, you may be given suggestions such as regular sauna, exercise, meditative practices, affirmations, or even crystals, colors, gemstones, sacred geometry or essential oils to support your healing process. Bring your current supplements or a list of them if you would like them to be assessed. You will receive an informational packet, which includes valuable recommendations for lifestyle modifications that you can incorporate into your life right away. The entire visit will take 90+ mins to 1.75 hrs (if utilizing insurance, the visit is limited to 75 mins).
Note that although the work we do is very gentle, it is potent. To maximize your body's healing, make sure to rest after your appointment, eat healthy and sleep early. You may feel wonderful and stronger than ever, or you may experience detox symptoms such as wanting to sleep, a passing headache, and/or muscle soreness prior to feeling better. Plan a low key day the following day(s) as your body continues to process all the work we do together at your first visit. Hold off on doing other bodywork for 3 days after to allow the work we do to be fully integrated. You may also want to wait until after your appointment to do major grocery shopping.
2. This first visit sets a foundation for healing. The doctor will then recommend a program of care to help you reach your health goals. Should you opt to join our Activating the Healer Within 6-month Program, you can get deeper into transforming your health for years to come. This program builds your healing momentum and directs the doctor to channel Source Energy with all her skills and magic to maximize your potential! She partners with you to supercharge your life goals, while also teaching valuable self-healing skills. Follow up visits are 60-90 mins.
Regular visits solidify the healing momentum and address the specific needs of the body at each level of healing. Those who come for regular care experience ever deepening levels of personal and spiritual evolution. The decision for moving forward lies fully in your hands.
