How Truth Family Chiropractic Eliminates Low Back Pain | Chiropractor in West Des Moines, IA
Hello everyone from Truth Family Chiropractic. Today, I want to discuss how our team can help you eliminate low back pain effectively.
Initial Consultation and Examination
When you visit our office as a new patient, you’ll be greeted by one of our skilled doctors who will sit down with you to understand your symptoms thoroughly. Here’s what to expect during your initial visit:
- Detailed History: We delve into your medical history to pinpoint the root cause of your lower back pain.
- Posture Examination: We assess your posture to identify any abnormalities that might contribute to your discomfort.
- Neurological Examinations: To confirm our initial prognosis, we conduct several neurological tests.
- Vertebrae Assessment: We palpate each vertebra to locate any subluxations or misalignments.
- Surface EMG Scan: Similar to an EKG, this test measures electrical activity from your spinal cord and muscles to identify stress areas, helping us understand where adjustments are needed.
Diagnostic Imaging
To further our diagnosis, we perform specific X-rays of your spine:
- Purpose: These X-rays help us see the exact location of subluxations and assess any potential damage.
- Outcome: This imaging guides our treatment plan and helps predict the time required for correction.
Treatment Plan and Follow-Up
After reviewing your tests and x-rays, we will sit down together to discuss a comprehensive care plan tailored to address your lower back pain:
- Adjustments: These are initially focused on correcting identified issues.
- Prescribed Exercises: Essential for supporting healing and maintaining spinal alignment, as seen in your x-ray results.
Progress Monitoring
Continued care is crucial for lasting relief:
- Ongoing Adjustments: These ensure sustained alignment and pain relief.
- Follow-up X-rays: Comparing initial and subsequent X-rays allows us to visualize and quantify your progress.
Our goal at Truth Family Chiropractic is not just to alleviate your pain temporarily but to correct the underlying issues for long-term relief. We’re here to guide you through each step of your journey to a pain-free back. If you’re ready to start, I look forward to seeing you soon.
