  • Lifestyles;
  • Thorough physical examination including spinal, neurological, orthopedic exam and muscle strength testing
  • X-rays may be ordered providing necessary to check possible underlying issues of your spine.

Those exams help the diagnosis and treatment and determine if you will be a good candidate for Chiropractic care.

Your chiropractor will then explain the adjustments he or she has made and what you can expect.

After the consultation and examination your chiropractor will analyse your exam results. He or she put all this information together and present it to you – Report of Finding.

Based on the Report of Finding, options for care and treatment plan will be customized to your needs.

You will have the first adjustment unless it is contra-indicated or your chiropractor needs to wait for results such as an x-ray.

At the end of the first visit we will also explain the schedule of care recommended for you and the fee schedule.
