It is important to establish any lifestyle, environmental or family history that could be contributing to your health condition. After the history the Doctor will perform a variety of exam procedures to locate specific areas of interference. Often times the Doctor will want more time to review your case or order laboratory tests or x-rays if your condition is more complex. In subsequent visits, the Doctor will present you with a detailed summary of your condition and a treatment plan specifically designed to restore your body's well-being. Treatment varies with the individual.
Most conditions require an initial period of intensive care.
Intensive care is designed to get you out of pain. After intensive care, more visits are required to strengthen your body. This period of care is critical to obtain lasting results. Chiropractic is safe. According to The Manga Report , commissioned by the Canadian Health Ministry, 'our reading of the literature suggests that chiropractic manipulation is safer than medical treatment of lower back pain'.
