Our story

A practice built around explaining first

Dr. Tarun Venkatesan opened Impulse Chiropractic so patients could leave a first visit knowing what was found, what the options are and what each one involves. Today three doctors see patients in Salt Lake City, with a focus on spinal decompression and corrective exercise for adults whose back or neck has been sore for a long time.

Every visit starts with listening. Nothing begins until you have agreed to it.

  • An exam before any treatment

  • Three doctors, each licensed in Utah

  • Options, risks and fees explained first

  • You can stop at any time

How we work

Three things we do at every visit

  • Explained before it is done

    You hear what each step involves and what you may feel before it starts.

  • Your choice at every step

    You can say no to any part of care, or stop, at any time.

  • Exercises you keep

    Movements practiced in the clinic first, so you can repeat them at home.

Every visit

What a visit includes

  • A conversation

    Your history, and what you want from care.

  • An exam

    The doctor watches and tests how you move.

  • Your findings

    What was found, in plain words.

  • Your options

    The choices open to you, the risks of each and what each costs.

  • X-rays, if needed

    Only when medically necessary, and your doctor explains why first.

  • A plan you agree to

    Treatment starts only if you agree.
