Examination
If our consultation suggests that you’d likely be helped with chiropractic care, we’ll need to perform a complete examination. Our patients often comment on how thorough our examination is, compared with other practitioners they’ve consulted.
Our examination varies based upon what we discover during the evaluation of your health history. What we find will tell us which examinations we need to conduct:
Chiropractic
These tests can include postural evaluations, static and dynamic palpation and other procedures to reveal neurological problems.
sEMG
Surface electromyography is an instrument that locates subluxation patterns by measuring electrical activity in the muscles supporting the spine.
Thermography
Thermography is a way of measuring tiny differences in skin temperature that can reveal nervous system disturbances.
X-Ray
Diagnostic imaging can help locate any bone abnormalities, fractures and reveal your spine’s phase of spinal decay.
The importance of each of these tests will be explained to you on your Second Visit at your Report of Findings. However, it is important to note that this examination procedure helps scientifically understand the subluxation processes going on in your spine. It also gives us a baseline for future tests so we can accurately measure your progress to see how your spine is correcting and your nervous system is functioning.
At the end of your first visit we will give you some important information on what the doctor examined you for and we will schedule your second visit.
