Dr. Lynn Kerew, D.C. family chiropractic and chiropractic care serving Santa Monica, West Los Angeles and more. Your First Visit.



	Your First Visit... On your first visit our office manager will greet you and then you will be asked to fill out relevant forms that will help us gain information about you and your health status. Dr. Kerew, D.C. will then meet with you to ask you some specific questions regarding your health status/ health challenge to determine whether Chiropractic care will benefit you. If she feels she can help you,
	your care in our office can start immediately. If she feels she is unable to help you or that a referral to another provider is indicated, she will let you know and coordinate a referral to that office. During your Chiropractic examination, you will receive a state of the art Chiropractic evaluation utilizing Thermal Scan Technology, Surface EMG, posture evaluation, a range of motion test and possibly x-rays if indicated. Not all patients require x-rays; however, if it will help in resolving your pain syndrome or health challenge, Dr. Kerew, D.C. will order x-rays to be taken. If you have recent x-rays or diagnostic tests, we will request copies and reports, with your consent, so that you do not have to take them again. This combination of information will allow Dr. Kerew, D.C. to care for you with the most personalized, specific, and comprehensive techniques.

	Thermal Scan Technology Dr. Lynn Kerew, D.C. uses state-of-the-art thermal scan and detection technology. The Insight Millennium, a second generation Thermal scanner can detect and measure temperature differences in the skin to help pinpoint areas of nerve interference which may be affecting normal nerve function and body physiology. This nerve interference is also referred to as a chiropractic "subluxation".


	Pre-Treatment Thermal scan (click to enlarge) Post-Treatment Thermal scan (click to enlarge)	Temperature Differences (Thermal Scan) If your body temperature is 98.6 degrees, then the left and right sides of your spine should also be the same temperature. Your skin is the largest organ of the body and the blood vessels under the skin work as the body's thermostat. (They expand to release heat and contract to retain heat controlling the body's temperature.) When the communication between the Nervous System and the blood vessels is disturbed, it causes the body's thermostat to malfunction producing an imbalanced temperature reading along the spine. These blood vessels are controlled by the same part of the Central Nervous System that runs your organs and glands, known as the autonomic nervous system. This thermal scan provides us with the information to monitor the autonomic system for proper function. Read more about the Thermal and SEMG Scanner

	After your examination, Dr. Kerew, D.C. will provide you with a "Report of Findings," showing you how Chiropractic care can help improve your specific health challenges. She will also provide recommendations for care so you can quickly be on your way to being pain-free and at your peak health potential.
