Initial Exam

Step 1: Consultation

This is a conversation with your chiropractor about what brought you in, the goals you desire, and how chiropractic can help.

Step 2: Nervous System Analysis

Using sensitive scanning technology, we will objectively measure any stress on the autonomic nervous system and motor nervous system. The autonomic system controls your organs, glands and blood vessels- all the functions you don’t have to think about, like breathing. The autonomic system also controls your immune system and your ability to deal with stress. The two technologies that we have to measure autonomic nervous system function are an infrared thermography scanner and a heart rate variability (HRV) monitor. To measure the electrical signals going to the motor nerves in the muscles we utilize EMG. All of these scans can be done in under 10 minutes and don’t emit anything into the body.

Step 3: Spinal Analysis

This is where we assess your function and find the physical cause of symptoms. We taking a look at your range of motion and finding any blockages in proper movement. We will do orthopedic testing and muscle testing when applicable.

Step 4: X-Ray

In circumstances where seeing imaging of the spine is necessary you will be referred out to get x-ray imaging prior to your first adjustment. This is necessary with major trauma/car accident, fracture, instability, severe nerve interference, disc-slippage, etc. is present or suspected.


Adjustment

If x-rays are not needed, you will receive your first adjustment right after the initial exam. This is included to the initial exam price of $250.
