4: Assessing Your Condition: The Physical Examination

The chiropractor will conduct a thorough physical examination following the consultation and history-taking. This examination may involve palpation, range-of-motion tests, and other specific assessments to evaluate the affected area. In some cases, diagnostic imaging like X-rays may provide further insights into the condition. Then, the chiropractor will accurately diagnose and determine the ideal treatment for your specific needs based on the information gathered.
