When you arrive for your appointment, your chiropractor will review the information on your intake forms and ask additional questions to learn more about your past and current healthcare needs. Your chiropractor will then perform a physical examination and determine if X-rays or additional tests are required. Once your chiropractor is satisfied that they understand the nature of your pain, they will explain your diagnosis and plan a course forward. Your chiropractor will recommend a specific treatment approach that reflects your individual needs.
