Our office uses certified HIPAA compliant electronic health records (EHR). This greatly reduces the forms you will need to complete. If you prefer, you can download the brief forms from our website to fill out prior to your appointment. This will speed up your first visit. You can also watch the brief introductory video which helps expand your understanding of chiropractic as a health care method and what to expect from our care. Next, one of our wellness associates will meet with you to carefully listen to you describe your health challenges and goals for recovery. We will then collect the standard vital signs and general physical measurements. Dr. Pankow will meet with you next to review the information and then perform the wellness assessment. Dr. Pankow will be looking to see if nervous system interference is at the root of your health challenge. Part of the examination may involve spinal x-rays or other outside diagnostic tests. He might also consult with your other healthcare providers to coordinate care. Upon completion of the wellness assessment, Dr. Pankow may begin care, only if he is confident that it is both safe and beneficial to your condition. Our staff will then schedule you to return to the office for a report of findings. This is when Dr. Pankow will let you know if he can help and if so, what will need to be done to help restore your health.

The spinal adjustment is the foundation of chiropractic care. Dr. Pankow has over 25 years of experience in delivering spinal adjustments to relieve harmful spinal nerve interference. For those that are afraid of spinal adjustments, no worries, we even have low force instrument aided adjustment available with the state of the art (pic 2) Impluse IQ Instrument. In any case, Dr. Pankow will not begin your adjustment until you are fully comfortable.
Our Helpful Tools
We offer a wide range of therapy modalities and tools to speed and assist your return to a healthy state. Dr. Pankow will carefully choose the tools best suited to help you recover. Some of these tools include: muscle stimulation, ultrasound, traction, evidence based supplements, and x-rays. If your health challenge involved a disc herniation, we also have both cervical and lumbar decompression therapy utilizing the Triton DTS table.
Spinal Decompression
If you suffer from
Here's how it works:
Through the aid of a computer controlled tensioning device, lumbar decompression applies a gentle progressive traction on the lumbar discs with the goal of causing the discs to uptake fluids that get trapped in the tissues causing the disc to become thicker thereby pushing the spinal bones further away from one another, “decompressing” pinched or trapped spinal nerves. Sometimes the results can be miraculous. It’s a procedure your local spine surgeon really doesn’t want you to know about.

| Renee |
My name is Renee Bosher and I have been the Office Manager at Beach Chiropractic Center for almost 10 years. Although I was born in Greely, Colorado, I have lived in Virginia Beach practically my entire life. I currently reside in Chesapeake with my husband Rob, two children Cash and Charley, and two four-legged children Lefty and Wrangler. I believe in eating well and staying fit to ensure a long and healthy life. I encourage my children to stay active in sports and love Pinterest as a means of healthy meal planning. In my spare time I enjoy watching my children engage in their sports, family outings, traveling, and being outside in general. When I first came to Beach Chiropractic, I thought chiropractors were “quacks”. Over the years, I have seen the benefits chiropractic care has not only on adults, but on children as well. Dr.Pankow ‘s knowledge and technique has helped many patient’s reduce medication use and even avoid surgery. Countless members of my family, including my children, are adjusted once a month to maintain a healthy nervous system. At Beach Chiropractic we pride ourselves on our relationships with our patient’s and our ability to help guide them to a healthier life.

My name is Joey and I have worked at Beach Chiropractic since 2010. I was born in Puerto Rico and moved to Norfolk with my family when I was two. I have lived in Norfolk and Virginia Beach most of my life but currently live in Chesapeake. My husband Mark and I got married in 2012 and together we have four children: Nick, Brittany, Sarah and Delaney and one grandson, Deaglan. My two furry friends keep us busy but I also foster dogs from Second Chance Habitat. I am pretty involved with my church that I have been attending since 2004. I enjoy relaxing by my pool and spending time with family and friends. With the help of my husband’s garden, I am able to incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables into my family’s diet. I believe in the importance of staying healthy through physical activity, healthy eating, and chiropractic care. I have personally witnessed countless patients come to our office unable to stand up straight and eventually leave standing tall with a big smile. Chiropractic is AWESOME!!!
