What
can I expect on my first visit?
The first thing a chiropractor
will do is ask you about any health complaints about
which you are chiefly concerned.
You will also be asked about any previous conditions,
past treatments, family health history and lifestyle
factors including dietary habits, exercise etc.
A physical
examination will be performed including postural
assessment, nerve function studies, range
of motion testing
and palpation to determine any structural abnormalities
which may be affecting or causing your condition.
The chiropractor will reach a diagnosis
and determine if chiropractic is appropriate for your
case, if
a referral to another practitioner is necessary
or if
other diagnostic
tests are necessary such as x-ray. |
