The chiropractic experience starts with a thorough consultation and spinal examination. Many spinal problems can be traced to bad posture habits, past accidents, and day-to-day fights with gravity. Knowing what can cause spinal imbalances is half the battle of correcting them.

​

Next is a comprehensive exam to pinpoint the exact vertebrae causing the nerve irritation. A misaligned vertebra with subsequent abnormal movement is the primary cause of most neurological interference.  The technical name for this condition is called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.

X-rays are usually recommended to confirm the degree of subluxation and help formulate a treatment plan of correction.

​It is important to note that the goal of the evaluation is to find and correct the cause of the problem, not just to treat the symptoms temporarily. Remember, chiropractic is for people who are interested in getting well naturally.
