Our scope
What we look at, and what we leave to your physician
After a fall or whiplash, a physician comes first. We look at how your neck and nervous system are working and help with the part chiropractic can help with.
Balance checks
We watch how you stand, step and turn, and note what changes from visit to visit.
Eye-movement checks
Following a moving target with your eyes shows how your head and neck work together.
How your neck moves
We look at how far and how smoothly your neck and upper back move.
Adjustments, when they fit
Spinal adjustments are one option. Your doctor explains the risks first, and you can say no to any part of care.
Exercises for home
Short, specific exercises with a written plan, reviewed at each visit.
Working with your physician
With your consent we share what we find with your primary care doctor or another provider.
Rivet does not diagnose or treat concussion or any brain injury. A physician does that.
After a fall or whiplash
What people tell us at the first visit
Some of these need a physician first. Ask us whether a visit makes sense for you.
Neck pain and stiffness
Turning to check traffic or look over a shoulder feels different than before.
Headaches
Headaches that started or changed after the event. A physician should see a new or severe one first.
Feeling off balance
Unsteady on stairs or in a crowd. If it is sudden or severe, see a physician first.
Trouble focusing
Screens, reading and busy rooms take more effort than they used to.

How we work
Look first, explain, then plan
The same three steps for every new patient.
Look at the whole picture
We ask about the fall or the crash, how you have felt since, and who else is helping. Then we check balance, eye movement and neck motion.
Explain what we found
Your doctor tells you what was found, what it does and does not mean, the options, the risks of each and what each would cost.
Plan together
If you agree to care, you get a written plan and exercises for home. We review it as you go and tell you when a visit is no longer needed.
