Our process to alleviate pain

The team at Key Spine Care will help you along every step of the journey

Discovery Visit

A chance for you to come down, meet us, get all your questions answered, and determine if we’re a good fit for what you need – completely FREE of charge. It’s a no-pressure, no-obligation appointment with a specialist, and there’s no prescription or referral required. If you’d like to “discover” what’s causing your problem first, BEFORE you invest any more of your time or money on treatments that don’t work, then Request a Discovery Session.

Create a comprehensive and individualized plan

Everyone is different, so why should everyone get the same cookie-cutter treatment plan? At Key Spine Care, we take the time to conduct a thorough examination and learn what are your unique wellness goals. ONLY AFTER these two steps are completed, and we have determined your individualized diagnosis, do we create a comprehensive and individualized plan to help you resume doing what you love — without the use of rest, pills, injections, or surgery!

Implement the plan to treat and prevent symptoms

At Key Spine Care, we focus on ACTIVE over passive treatment plans, and for good reason. Expert doctors and therapists all agree: An ideal treatment approach encompasses more active than passive methods. If your doctor or therapist is heavily reliant on passive methods such as massage, electric stimulation, heat/ice, kinesiotaping, and posture correction, that is a red flag. In our opinion, treatment plans that rely primarily or exclusively on passive methods such as spinal adjustments, massages, vibration beds, etc. are NOT addressing the underlying issue but rather are masking the symptoms and providing short-term symptom modification. 

This is why we proudly and exclusively only offer 1:1 care (e.g. no assistants or PTAs, just you and the doctor for the entire appointment, every time), we work together as a team to implement our shared plan to treat and prevent your symptoms.

Teach self-care methods

While we love our 1:1 time with our patients, we also do NOT want you to be locked into a never-ending treatment plan of 2-3 visits per week for life! Most of our treatment plans are 12 visits or less as we prioritize teaching you how to:

  • Eliminate the cause of the pain
  • Find pain-free postures
  • Develop healthy posture and movement patterns

Results from the very first visit

Dr. Elahi knows what he's doing. Went to him after several months of struggle with a rotator cuff injury. Started seeing results in baby steps from the very first visit. After 3 months of hard work with home exercises with Dr. Elahi's treatment plan. i can finally look forward to a pain free shoulder soon.

Ensure my concerns are checked

The doctor is very professional and check all the parts of my body as the start point to ensure my concerns are checked. He also provided professional advice of what I should do to lose the back pain.
