The most important question for your doctor to answer is whether or not
you are a candidate for care in their office. Doctors of Chiropractic are
interested in trying to completely understand your health condition. They
will ask you questions related to how your condition started, what makes
your symptoms better or worse, the severity of your symptoms, how long you've
had them and other related aspects of your health condition.
Physical Examination
A physical examination will follow your consultation. This may or may not
lead to services such as x-rays, blood work or other diagnostic testing.
After ruling out conditions that require an immediate medical referral, your
doctor will perform an evaluation of your neuromusculoskeletal system (a long
word for nerves, muscles and bones).
Report of Findings
Upon completion of the physical examination an assessment of your condition
will be given to you in what is known as the “Report of Findings” (R.O.F.).
During the R.O.F. your doctor will discuss your diagnosis, your treatment plan,
including the duration and number of visits, as well as outline your financial
responsibility.
