TELEHEALTH and TELEMEDICINE OPTIONS AT RAVENSWOOD CHIROPRACTIC in CHICAGO

TeleHealth

TeleMedicine also known as TeleHealth or eVisits at Ravenswood Chiropractic are a safe and convenient option for our patients to get not only peace of mind but to continue their progress without leaving their home.

Our patients use our TeleMedicine options for many different issues and often we are the first virtual doctor visit they have had so they have many questions. We hope to answer a couple of them here but if you don’t see what you are looking for just call us and ask.

What Can you Do During a TeleHealth Session

You might be surprised by the amount of issues that can be taken care of during an eVisit!

CHIROPRACTIC

Our chiropractic physicians perform exams and formulate and review treatment plans via our TeleHealth options. This includes pain and injury conditions (like: Do I have a sprained ankle? or Do I have Sciatica or a pinched nerve? Should I be concerned about ….) or internal conditions like digestive issues, allergies, or cardiovascular health. Once they have discussed your concern with you, they may order imaging, or other testing and will instruct you on treatment options including home care or self care options. Based on the findings from your TeleHealth appointment our chiropractic physicians may either prescribe home care instructions or advise in office treatment or further evaluation. Both new patients and current patients enjoy completing this portion of their health care from their home and then coming in later that day for an adjustment if needed as it saves them time away from busy home or work life.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Physical therapy and home care instruction or modification can be done entirely via TeleHealth. Many of our patients who travel a lot for work or have small children at home like to use this option to keep making progress while they are away and to address any concerns that arise.

ACUPUNCTURE

Our acupuncturists consult, perform tongue diagnosis, create a treatment plan and review it with you including and discussing herbal options (which can be shipped directly to your home), diet options, as well as coach you through acupressure you can perform at home. Many of our fertility, pain, sleep, and mood disorder patients find this to be a convenient option.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Our chiropractic physicians also provide Function Medicine and in some instances remote monitoring of patients vitals. After your TeleHealth consultation, testing may be ordered, diet and exercise modifications planned and reviewed with you, and supplements may be recommended (which can be delivered to your home or office). The evaluation may also include, but is not limited to, testing for food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, gut microbiome, and more. Now is the time to improve your heart health, reduce your cardiovascular risk factors, improve management of your diabetes, asthma, stress, anxiety and depression and we can help!
