Your first appointment begins with a detailed history of your condition.
Appropriate orthopedic and neurologic tests will be performed along with a spinal evaluation, which includes checking for spinal misalignments, musculature, flexibility, and posture.
If necessary, x-rays or an MRI will be recommended.
A review of lifestyle issues, such as exercise, diet, stress, both work and emotional, completes the evaluation and you will be presented with a diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan for you to decide whether or not you wish to start care.
