Before we work any magic on our patients, we strive to make sure that we understand them and their unique situations – everybody is different, and what might work on some may not work on others.
In a nutshell, our process looks like this:
First, we conduct a thorough medical history of the patient.
Then, we look at your vital signs – namely body temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
After that, we visually inspect for spinal curves or other visible health indicators.
Once we’ve inspected visually, we use our hands to feel out your spine and the muscles and other soft tissues that support it.
Lastly, we conduct orthopedic and neurological examinations – fancy terms for assessing the function of your spine, joints, and muscles, and the function of your motor and sensory systems.
We are quite thorough ;)
