Evaluation
After taking your health history into account, your chiropractor will perform a physical examination. Your chiropractor may feel your spine, joints, and examine your range of motion.
Assessment
A chiropractic exam will be thorough and may include X-rays, orthopedic tests, and neurological tests.
Spinal Exam
To determine what parts of your spine would require chiropractic treatment, your chiropractor will likely use a palpation technique to find what areas of your spine's mobility are restricted.
X-Rays
Many healthcare providers employ the use of x-rays for diagnostic purposes, including chiropractors. They are useful in helping identify the source of a problem, its potential severity, and potentially guiding the course of treatment.
Why I Became A Chiropractor
People often ask me why I became a chiropractor. Well, I began my chiropractic journey as a patient. I was involved in a very bad auto accident as a young adult. This accident caused me multiple trips to the doctor’s office. I was suffering from neck pain, left arm numbness, headaches, and left side muscle weakness.
I kept going back to the medical doctor’s office because I was not getting healthy. As each day passed, my condition became worse. This lasted for almost an entire year. As the pain continued, I became depressed and my doctor wanted to prescribe anti-depressants. I was only 19 years old and on strong pain meds, and muscle relaxers and now the doctors wanted to add more drugs.
That is when a friend of mine referred me to a chiropractor. I was very hesitant to see a chiropractor because I was in so much pain, I didn’t want someone to crack my bones. However, I went anyway. I just figured I would try something different, as the pain meds were not helping.
The chiropractor did his exam and explained to me that I was suffering from multiple pinched nerves in my back. All the pinched nerves were causing my pain and he could help. At first, there was no change. Then after one of my office visits, I started to move my arm and it felt different. My left arm hadn’t been functioning in almost 4 months. As I continued my chiropractic treatment plan, I regained all my strength back and the pain went away. I was not using any of the different drugs the medical doctors prescribed me. I was no longer depressed. This doctor gave me my life back.
At that point, I knew I wanted to become a chiropractor and help other people. I have been a Livermore CA chiropractor since 2001. Contreras Chiropractic opened in 2006 and we have helped numerous people. Each day, I am grateful that I am a chiropractor.
