CANCELLATION/MISSED APPOINTMENT POLICY Our goal is to provide quality health care in a timely manner. To do so, we have had to implement an appointment cancellation policy. This policy enables us to better use available appointments for our patients.

APPOINTMENT CANCELLATION To be respectful of the needs of other patients, please be courteous and let us know promptly if you are unable to attend an appointment. We always have others waiting who can use that time.

If it is necessary to cancel your scheduled appointment, we require that you call at least 12 hours in advance, and calling early in the day is appreciated. Appointments are in high demand, and your early cancellation will give another person the possibility to have access to timely care.

HOW TO CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT You can cancel and reschedule appointments online at MarkThompsonDC.com, by text at 918.639.3597, or by email [email protected].

LATE CANCELLATIONS Cancellations made less than 12 hours before your scheduled appointment will be considered a "no-show."

NO-SHOW POLICY A "no-show" is someone who misses an appointment without canceling in an adequate manner. No-shows inconvenience the doctor and those individuals who need access to care, and will be recorded on your account. There will be no charge for your first no-show. Each additional no-show will result in a fee of $50.00, billed to your account.

THANK YOU!

ICE

works best on the spine or with intense pain.

Ice the affected area for 20 minutes, then remove the ice for 20 minutes. Repeat this cycle as often as necessary to decrease pain and swelling. It is best to place a layer of cloth (towel or clothing) between your skin and the ice pack.

There are four stages of sensation to icing an area: First, it will feel cold. Second, the area will almost feel hot. Third, there will sometimes be a ‘pins and needles’ sensation, much like the area is ‘waking up’ after falling asleep due to lack of blood supply. The fourth and final stage is the numbness. When the area goes numb, it’s time to stop icing.

A notable exception to this icing method, is the actual shoulder blade. Ice on the thin muscles of the shoulder blade can cause the bone to be chilled and ache. Heat works better in this area.

Heat works best over muscle spasm.

Moist heat applications may last up to 30-45 minutes. Remove the heat and wait 20 minutes (or when the area returns to normal body temperature) to reapply for another 30 minutes. There should be a layer of cloth between the skin and the heat source to protect the skin.

Heat can also be used to ‘drive in’ magnesium for faster absorption and relief of muscle spasms.

Never apply heat to the spine.

Magnesium

is Mother Nature’s muscle relaxant. A little known fact is that magnesium is better absorbed through the skin than through digestion. Liquid and spray magnesium products are available at most local health food stores or online. Apply it to painful or spastic muscles and it is absorbed directly into the muscles that need it the most. Often relief is felt in minutes. Magnesium can be applied more than once a day if necessary. As mentioned above, moist heat can speed up the absorption.

There is more to chiropractic than relief of headaches and back pain. Aches and pains are simply signs that your body isn’t working right.

Chiropractic focuses on the integrity of your nervous system. Your brain, spinal cord and all

your nerves control how your body works. Millions of instructions flow from your brain, down the spinal cord, and out to every organ and tissue.

Signals sent back to the brain confirm that your body is working right.

Physical, chemical or emotional stresses produce a defensive posture: muscles contract, locking spinal

joints that pinch or irritate nearby nerves. This improper motion or position of the moving bones

of the spine, called a “subluxation”, can interfere with this vital exchange, compromising the

function and healing of affected organs and tissues leading to ill health and disease.

Specific spinal adjustments improve mind/body communication. In time, the nervous system

revives and health returns. That is why chiropractic care can help anyone get well and stay well.

It’s simple. Spinal damage from accumulated physical, emotional and chemical stresses or injury

at any age can misalign bones and shift the head off-center. The result is stress on the nervous system, muscle spasm, postural distortion and

spinal decay. Nerves going to all parts of the body can be affected. Correcting the spine can alleviate stress, pain and discomfort, allowing the body to

function and heal properly.

Chiropractic care helps you get well and stay well.
