The chiropractor will talk to you before diagnosing you. You’ll be questioned about the nature of the pain or injury, about its duration and history, and you’ll have to undergo a physical examination. Once the diagnosis has been done, and depending on the severity of the complication, you might be liable to undergo tests or scans or X-rays. This is usually done to corroborate hypotheses regarding the diagnosis and does not necessarily imply a problem in itself, giving you no cause to panic. The practitioner will determine the duration and degree of your treatment once the diagnosis is complete.
