The chiropractic evaluation is a comprehensive, nervous system-centered assessment designed to identify the underlying causes of pain, dysfunction, or imbalance in the body. It focuses on the relationship between the spine, nervous system, and musculoskeletal health to determine how structural or neurological interference may be impacting overall well-being.. The evaluation generally includes an orthopedic and neurological examination, as well as chiropractic manipulation.
During the evaluation, the chiropractor will assess joint mobility, muscle strength, and reflexes to determine the source of the pain. If necessary, the chiropractor may order imaging studies such as X-rays or MRIs to further the diagnosis.
After the evaluation, the chiropractor will discuss the findings and develop a personalized treatment plan to relieve symptoms and restore the patient’s natural balance and function
