Doug Burson, DC provides Chiropractic care at our Lafayette clinic.
This is an unusual place for a chiropractor to practice, and the difference is mostly about what happens when manual care is not the answer.
A standalone practice that finds something outside its scope has to refer you out and hope you follow through. Here, imaging is close, the Pain Management team is in the same clinic, and the wider campus covers what neither of us does. The examination can therefore be genuinely open-ended — the question is what is wrong with you, not what can be treated with an adjustment.
Range of motion, orthopedic testing, neurological screening of the arm or leg where symptoms travel.
The examination is separating a joint restriction that will respond to manual work from a disc under load, a nerve root with genuine neurological findings, or something that should not be adjusted at all. If imaging should come first, we will say so and order it rather than adjust and hope for the best.
Diversified manual adjustment; Activator instrument-assisted adjustment for patients who prefer no manual thrust; drop-table (Thompson) technique; soft-tissue and myofascial work; and home exercise, which is usually what makes the difference between relief and resolution. Spinal decompression and dry needling are available as modalities alongside adjusting.
This catchment moves a lot, and the injuries reflect that more than they reflect accidents.
Cyclists with neck and low back pain that is a position problem rather than an injury. Runners with sacroiliac and hip complaints. Climbers with shoulders and elbows. Skiers in season. And underneath all of it, the ordinary desk-related neck and upper back pain that arrives regardless of how active someone is at the weekend.
Overuse injuries are the ones people put off longest, because there is no moment they can point to. They are also the ones that respond best to early examination.
Rianna Roy, DPT covers Physical Therapy here. Pain Management is provided by Hannah Abbe, PA-C and Emily Walter, PA-C.
So the handover, when it is needed, is internal — same building, same chart, no repeat intake, no waiting a month to be asked the same questions by someone new.
Six patterns account for most of the chiropractic caseload here. Each has a page of its own if you want the detail behind it.
Sciatica and leg pain. A disc or a nerve root under load, not a tight muscle. The examination separates the two before anything is adjusted, because they do not respond to the same treatment.
Neck pain and stiffness. Desk posture, a night slept badly, or a collision weeks ago that never fully settled. Range of motion and neurological screening come first where symptoms travel into an arm.
Headaches that start in the neck. Cervicogenic headache is a neck problem that presents as a head problem. Treating the neck is what changes it; treating the head does not.
Middle and upper back. Between the shoulder blades, usually loading-related and usually mechanical, though rib and thoracic joints are worth ruling in or out properly.
Sport and training injuries. Return-to-activity matters as much as pain relief, so the plan is built around what you are trying to get back to rather than around a visit count.
Disc injury. Where the exam points at a disc, Chiropractic care is available here, with Physical Therapy and Pain Management in the same building if you need them.

Chiropractic patients in Lafayette are seen by named, credentialed clinicians, and you can read about each of them before you book. By clinic: Lafayette — Doug Burson, DC.
Every clinician listed here has a page setting out their training, what they work with most and where they see patients. The rest of the team is on the Colorado Chiropractic providers page.
Each of these pages sets out the same two things for one problem: when chiropractic is a reasonable first step, and when it is not. The second half is the part worth reading, because knowing what would change the plan is what stops six weeks being spent on the wrong treatment.
