On Your First Chiropractic Visit
Your first chiropractic visit will begin with the completion of a health intake form for the Ocala chiropractic diagnosis procedure. This form will allow the doctor to become informed about previous injuries or illnesses as well as your current condition. After reviewing the form with your doctor, your current daily activities, along with a spinal impact history (automobile accidents and work, recreational, and sporting injuries), are also reviewed.
Your first examination, as a part of the diagnosis procedure in Ocala, will also include a thorough evaluation of your leg length, posture, muscle strength, range of motion, palpation (touch), reflexes, as well as a few other nerve sensation tests.
State-of-the-art equipment helps us figure out whether subluxations are affecting your health and ability to function as well as which part of your body to focus on. The use of surface electromyography (SEMG) is used in order to track and evaluate the amount of pressure being put on your nervous system.
Your first visit may also require some X-rays. These X-rays will help your doctor figure out the severity of your spinal degeneration, spinal misalignments, significant pathologies, and potential contraindications of care. These measurements, along with your clinical exam findings in the Ocala diagnosis procedure, are used to determine individualized adjustments you need to regain optimal health.
On Your Second Chiropractic Visit
Your doctor will study your health history, examinations, and X-rays in order to give you a full report during your second visit. Information regarding your spine and nervous system will also be provided, as well as specific findings relative to weak muscles, positive orthopedic test results, postural imbalances, and limited ranges of motion. Your doctor will, then, review and compare your x-rays with normal radiographs. All of this is done so you understand your chiropractic issues from the diagnosis procedure in Ocala.
Before you receive your first chiropractic adjustment (if necessary), you will be given the opportunity to ask your doctor any questions you may have. Being certified in a variety of effective adjusting techniques allows us provide you with the best approach to increase your comfort and reach your maximum level of wellness.
On Your Third Chiropractic visit
Your third visit includes recommendations on how to achieve overall wellness. Depending on the severity of your subluxations from the Ocala diagnosis procedure, your recommendations will vary. These factors include phase of degeneration, age, current condition, and spinal impact history. Your recommended plan may also involve spinal and extremity rehabilitation. Through maximum stabilization of your spine, you should be able to reach optimal health. Once this has been achieved, your doctor will provide you with different ways to sustain your spinal health.
