Many patients who seek care at a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) office do not know what to expect. You’ll meet the doctor after filling out some brief paperwork describing your health history, current complaint and overall health. The doctor will start by discussing the patient’s history and then performing a physical examination.
The physical examination will include neurologic, orthopedic and chiropractic specific analysis to develop a working diagnosis. Imaging or lab tests (such as X-rays, MRI, CT scans or blood work) may be ordered to confirm a diagnosis or rule out other conditions that could be contributing to your overall health.
