We provide Step by step diagnosis and resolutions by our experienced Chiropractor. A full diagnosis into a result would typically go through these steps. Some of these steps could be fixed based on the problem you have such as the diagnostic tests which require more in-depth knowledge of particular problems that are not showing after our consultation and physical exam. You can typically see in our first session, treatment starting on day one.

1. Patient consultation: The chiropractor will ask the patient about their medical history, symptoms, and any previous treatments they have received for their back pain.

2. Physical exam: The chiropractor will perform a physical exam to assess the patient's range of motion, muscle strength, and spinal alignment.

3. Diagnostic tests: Depending on the results of the physical exam, the chiropractor may order diagnostic tests such as X-rays and MRI scans to help diagnose the underlying cause of the back pain.

4. Diagnosis: Once the chiropractor has identified the cause of the back pain, they will develop a treatment plan tailored to the patient's specific needs. This may involve a combination of spinal adjustments, massage, physical therapy exercises, and other therapies.

5. Treatment: During the treatment process, the chiropractor will use various techniques to realign the spine, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. They may use spinal adjustments, dry needling, massage, traction, or other therapies to relieve pain and improve spinal function.

6. Follow-up care: After the initial treatment, the chiropractor will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the patient's progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. They may also provide recommendations for lifestyle changes or home exercises to help the patient maintain their spinal health and prevent future injuries.
