Evaluation

After taking your health history into account, your chiropractor will perform a physical examination. Your chiropractor may feel your spine, joints, and examine your range of motion.

Assessment

A chiropractic exam will be thorough and may include X-rays, orthopedic tests, and neurological tests.

Spinal Exam

To determine what parts of your spine would require chiropractic treatment, your chiropractor will likely use a palpation technique to find what areas of your spine's mobility are restricted.

X-Rays

Many healthcare providers employ the use of x-rays for diagnostic purposes, including chiropractors. They are useful in helping identify the source of a problem, its potential severity, and potentially guiding the course of treatment.

Is chiropractic care good for whiplash, car accidents?

These events are quite shocking and when you're in a lot of pain, you're thinking, now what?

Can a chiropractor treat Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain, numbness, tingling or weakness caused by compression or irritation of one of the nerves that run from your lower back, down your legs, to your feet. It frequently comes on gradually, is on one side and gets worse with standing and sitting. Bed rest usually makes It worse and pain pills and muscle relaxants often don't work. Fortunately, sciatica frequently responds to safe, natural chiropractic care. A 1993 study concluded that "There would be highly significant cost savings if more management of low back pain was transferred from MD's to chiropractors." Chiropractic physicians are skilled and successful in healing sciatica.

Can kids get chiropractic treatments?

Spinal and postural evaluations essential for growing kids. If injuries from contact sports or developmental disorders such as scoliosis are detected early, the chances are good for preserving your precious child's health, at a lower cost. Our clinic can be a great resource for keeping your whole family well.

Is chiropractic safe for Pregnancy?

If you would like to facilitate the growth of your baby by providing it as much space as possible throughout your pregnancy, then you need to maintain a balanced pelvis.
