If you have health information including x-rays, MRI, CT etc, from another doctor’s office please bring it with you, too.

Promptly following the video, you are taken back to an examination room for a personal consult with the doctor to discuss your health concerns. Your doctor will gather information about your medical history to ascertain the depth of your complaint. Certain information in your health history provides important clues that will allow us to properly diagnose your problem. This is essential for preparing a unique course of treatment for you. After obtaining your history, a physical examination will be performed utilizing orthopedic and neurological tests to determine your health status. You might be asked to do a series of simple and easy activities. These activities provide information about your motor skills, balance, and gait. They help determine your range of motion, muscle tone and strength. Any abnormalities provide us clues about the integrity of your nervous system. Next, your the doctor will perform a chiropractic spinal examination designed to detect for any vertebral subluxations, or spinal misalignments which can produce nerve interference and disrupt health. Your doctor will palpate with his hands to feel the alignment of your spine moving it in different motions. Depending on your condition x-rays and other advanced diagnostic tests maybe used to understand your condition. The chiropractic examination will reveal whether or not you are a candidate for care. If not, an appropriate referral is made if your condition is not of a chiropractic nature.
