Dr. Jardon is very active in the hockey community in Rhode Island, having served as a coach, referee, team physician and Hockey Dad over the last 11 years. He still plays in a men's league twice weekly as well. Besides hockey, he regularly attends the gym for strength and conditioning to make sure he practices what he preaches.
My Philosophy
Although Chiropractic care does not involve the use of drugs or surgery, I have always believed that an integrative approach to care of the spine and musculoskeletal system is essential. It is important to start with the most conservative measures of care (those with the least side effects) such as chiropractic and physical therapy before considering less conservative approaches such as surgery.
Over my 25 years of practice, I have developed a network of medical physicians, physical therapists, nutritionists, fitness instructors, message therapists and others who share my philosophy. So if we can't handle your care, chances are we know others who can.
In my eyes, there is nothing more important than good communication between doctor and patient. That starts with your first visit, where I will sit down with you and take a very thorough consult so that I know exactly what you're feeling. An exam will follow to get another piece of the puzzle. Finally, I may order further testing such as x-rays or an MRI. Often, you will receive therapy on that first visit to lend you relief of your symptoms.
Since I strongly believe that the more you understand about your condition, the more you are likely to follow recommendations that will optimize your results. I will go over your consult, exam, test findings and diagnosis with you on your second visit called your "Report of Findings". A treatment plan will be recommended so that you will know what to expect in your recovery. You will be encouraged to ask any questions you may have so that you fully understand "our game plan".
