 NEW PATIENT HISTORY FORM

Chiropractic physical examination

A thorough chiropractic examination includes general tests such as blood pressur, and reflexes, as well as specific orthopedic and neurological tests to assess:

    *Range of motion of the affected part
    *Muscle tone
    *Muscle strength
    *Neurological integrity

Further chiropractic tests may be necessary to assess the affected area (such as having the individual move in a specific manner, posture analysis, or chiropractic manipulation of the affected body part).

Diagnostic studies

Based upon the results of the history and chiropractic examination, diagnostic studies may be helpful in revealing pathologies and identifying structural abnormalities that can be used to more accurately diagnose a condition. Diagnostic studies are not always necessary.

The most common diagnostic studies used by chiropractors include:
    *X-ray exam
    *MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan
    *Other laboratory tests

Chiropractic diagnosis

History, physical examination and any diagnostic studies lead to a specific diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is established, the chiropractor will determine if the condition will respond to chiropractic care.

What is subluxation?

A Subluxation is a misalignment of the spinal bones that directly affects the communication of the nerve system from the brain to the body. Your nerve system controls and coordinates every single function in your body. This interference with the signals traveling through your nerves to every cell, tissue, and organ, will not allow your body to function at 100% of its God given potential. The vast majority of the population has had thousands of impacts, since birth, that could have caused Subluxation. The most common being: stress or strains at home and work, repetitive movements, lifting, sleeping, traumas, car accidents (even those less than 10mph), and most common of all, the birthing process (on both the mother and the child). 

Subluxation is at nearly epidemic levels in today's society. The Doctor of Chiropractic is the only physician trained in the detection, and correction of Subluxation in your spine. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments designed to specifically correct the Subluxations in your spine.

How do I know if I have a subluxation?

You may have Subluxation and not even know it. As with cancer, heart disease, and tooth decay, Subluxations can be present for years before the warning signs appear, your symptoms. When sickness and disease have been in the body years, symptoms are (often) the last sign to show up. A spinal check-up by a chiropractor who specializes in correction of the spine is the only way to truly tell if you have Subluxation. Schedule a family check up today.

Nerve System

Your nerve system controls and coordinates every function of your body. A large portion of your nerve system passes through your spine. Your spinal cord acts as the major cable exiting your brain, traveling down inside your spinal column and branches off into spinal nerves at various levels of your spine. These spinal nerves exit between individual spinal bones and go to the various parts of your body. To be healthy it is essential that your nerve system function properly and free from any interference caused by Subluxations. Subluxations can cause interference to the nerve system at any point along the spine. This can adversely affect the function of various parts of your body, crippling your health. With improved spinal function, there is improved nerve system function restoring health. The goal of our office is to remove interference that may be impairing normal health through specific Chiropractic adjustments, allowing your body to heal itself. A healthy spine and a healthy lifestyle are the keys to optimal health without a prescription!
