At Ignite Life Chiropractic, Dr. Byers uses state-of-the-art technology in assessing each practice member to get an exact location of the cause of their health problems.
STEP 1
All new practice members are requested to fill out the new practice member health application form as completely as possible. Make sure you bring a valid ID with any medical insurance cards you would like us to do a complimentary benefits check with.
STEP 2
When you arrive to our office a one-on-one consultation will be conducted to discuss your health issues and goals, uncover the layers of past damage/trauma and to help determine the cause of your health issues.
STEP 3
The Specific Scientific Neurological Assessment
A comprehensive chiropractic evaluation and Neurological Diagnostic Testing will be performed to further determine the exact cause of your health problems. Using our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to locate the root cause of any dysfunction or dis-ease within your body.
You may be asked to:
Perform range of motion. Bend forward, sideways, or backwards – Misaligned spinal vertebrae can be revealed during this exercise.
Perform specific orthopedic tests to determine the exact components involved in your health problems.
Gait Analysis – Evaluating your gait helps to determine if you have a normal walking pattern. Abnormalities in the balance and alignment within your pelvis and spine can be seen during this assessment.
Postural Evaluation – Posture abnormalities will reveal whether or not you have misalignments within spinal column.
These exercises will provide vital information regarding your motor skills, balance, and gait, leading the doctor to a better understanding of your current state of health. These tests also help determine your range of motion, muscle tone and strength, and overall integrity of your nervous system.
Next, a short physical assessment will be performed utilizing both motion and static palpation to explore the alignment of your spine and other structures, as well as provide information on any stimuli that may cause pain or discomfort.
STEP 4
Dr. Byers will advise you if additional tests are needed including any Chiropractic Postural Specific X-rays.
