The first time you go to the chiropractor a complete health history will be taken and discussed with you. You may be given a complete examination with x-rays, blood pressure check, SEMG, or laboratory analysis. A spinal exam will detect any structural abnormalities that could effect you. The chiropractor will begin treatment only after your condition is determined. This could involve corrective spinal adjustments or therapies. Chiropractors are proud of being able to treat without medication or surgery. They also find it satisfying to assist their patients to gain more productive and rewarding lives.
