New Patient Paperwork

Complete Exam

After reviewing your health concerns and history, you will have a complete exam, including special tests.

These help determine where your problem areas might be and how the doctor will address them.

During our chiropractic exams, our patients wear thick, open-back gowns that only open wide enough to examine your spine.

Tests included:

Static Palpation: Feeling the bones in your spine for tenderness, joint swelling and other abnormalities

Motion Palpation: Bending and moving your spine to look for signs of fixation

Instrumentation: Running a Nervoscope along your spine to locate areas of swelling. It detects heat, an indication of swelling.

X-Ray

After Dr. Katrina performs the exams and sees evidence of vertebral subluxation, she will then taken in-office full spine, weight bearing (standing) x-rays, except in the case of pregnancy.

Reasons for x-rays:

To determine the condition of the discs
To determine the phases of degeneration
To location potential problem areas, misalignments and how to properly fix it
To rule out other pathologies (disease)

We look forward to meeting you.
