Description
Our Examination consists of a thorough spinal
and nervous system exam which includes "Palpation". Palpation essentially is
checking your spine by hand. With this exam the doctor can feel areas of your
spine that may be involved with subluxations problems. Spinal position,
curvatures and muscle tone can also be examined as it relates to possible spinal
subluxations.
Your examination will also include a
computerized examination called the "Posture Pro and Tytron." This examination
involves several important components.
The first part
of this examination process involves reading spinal heat differences from one
level of the spine to another,
 as
well as from one side of the spine to the other. Heat is a by product of
circulation, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. From this we
can see how subluxation may be affecting these functions of your nervous
system.
In the second
part of this examination Posture Pro looks at the balance and symmetry of your
body..
The importance
of each of these tests will be explained to you at your Report of Findings.
However, it is important to note that this examination helps scientifically
understand the subluxation processes going on in your spine. It also gives us a
baseline for future tests so we can accurately measure your progress to see how
your spine is correcting and your nervous system is functioning. Using the
Insight Millennium Subluxation Examination is much more accurate that just
depending on "how you feel" on any given day.
 Spinal
X-rays may be taken depending on your age, and situation. There are many
reasons why we would not take x-rays on certain patients including pregnancy,
most children, recent usable spinal x-rays and some other various situations.
Aside from these situations, x-rays are a common part of the examination process
when looking for vertebral subluxations. X-rays give us important information
including the position of the spinal bones, and the quality of the spine and
safety of adjusting it. X-rays also tell us the relative length of time
subluxations may have been involved in your spine. Commonly, most patients
receive three spinal x-rays at the beginning of care.
With this
important information we can make a more accurate determination of the type of
adjustments your spine needs as well as the initial frequency of your care. Your
x-rays we be explained to you and covered in detail at your Report of Findings.
 You
will be scheduled for your Report of Findings within a few days of your initial
visit. This visit is your most important visit and may take up to one hour. It
is at your Report of Findings that we will give you a care plan and go over any
special instructions you will need to obtain the best and fastest possible
results. We have set aside specific times for these visits so as not to
interfere with regular patient care hours. Our staff will schedule your Report
of Findings with you after your first visit.

chiropractic analytical, and adjustive procedures and equipment available. We
consider subluxations to be a serious threat to the quality and quantity of your
