Today’s chiropractic doctor looks for the underlying nervous
system involvement’s which can be the cause of many health problems.
- Helping to restore proper spinal biomechanics and improved nervous system function
begins with a case history. This gives the doctor a background about your health,
such as surgeries, accidents, the onset of your condition and other details affecting
your current health.
- After reviewing you history and discussing your specific problem, a thorough
orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic examination is performed.
X-rays may be taken to uncover structural and functional problems associated
with the spinal column. These examinations help identify areas
of spinal malfunction and resulting nervous system deficit.
- The findings of these examinations are explained and a plan of chiropractic
adjustments may be recommended. Progress is monitored with periodic examinations
and follow-up reports.
- Since the word “doctor” comes from the Latin word meaning “teacher”, regardless
of your doctor’s unique clinical approach, he or she has a strong
commitment to patient education.
