Dr. Paul BekkumHelping you achieve pain relief to peak performance, naturally.

By SMART Chiropractic I am talking about the same thing that everyone uses for setting goals.

They are as follows:

S = Specific

Is your treatment geared for specific areas of biomechanical weakness?

M = Measurable

Are there measurable findings that can be used to measure your progress?

A = Attainable

Is it possible to attain normal or close to normal structure and function?

R = Realistic

Are your goals for treatment within the possibility to achieve?

T = Timely

Have you set an achievable time frame for completion for treatment?

These are questions you should be asking yourself whether you are a doctor or patient.  If these questions can’t be answered completely at the outset of treatment, then have specific periodic assessments to determine if progress is being made or if other treatment or diagnostic options are needed.
