Your first visitWear what you feel most comfortable being examined in. Avoid wearing tight clothing as this can hamper examination. Your first visit will last between 30 and 40 mins. You will need to fill out a form briefly detailing your general medical history. The chiropractor will ask questions about your current condition and any previous chiropractic related problems. A physical examination is then conducted to establish the cause of your pain and see if past problems might be linked with the current one. If required, an x-ray could be taken to further understand your condition as well as rule out spinal pathology. Finally you will be given a diagnosis and an explanation of your treatment plan. If x-rays are taken they need to be developed and interpreted before your diagnosis is given. |
