Thorough Examination

Following the consultation, the chiropractor will perform a thorough physical examination. This typically includes testing your range of motion, checking your reflexes, assessing your posture, and performing specific orthopedic and neurological tests to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain. In some cases, X-rays or other imaging may be recommended to get a clearer picture of your spine's condition.

Report of Findings and Treatment Plan

Once the examination is complete, the chiropractor will explain their findings to you in clear, easy-to-understand language. They will discuss whether chiropractic care is the right option for your condition and outline a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. If you agree to the proposed plan, your first treatment may begin during this initial visit.
