Chiropractic doctors practice natural, drugless, non-invasive health care and rely on the body's ability to heal itself. Chiropractic physicians look at the whole person. Like other healthcare providers, we follow a standard routine to gain information about the patient. We consult, review the case history, conduct a physical examination, and may request laboratory analyses and/or x-rays.
However, unlike other healthcare providers, chiropractic physicians also conduct a careful analysis of the patient's physical structure and pay particular attention to the spine. We consider lifestyle, diet, exercise, and how you deal with stress. Chiropractic physicians seek the origin of the problem. Using this information, a diagnosis is made. Included in the diagnosis is the probable reason for your pain or discomfort.
It is important to note that chiropractors seek the origin of the illness in order to eliminate it-we do not simply treat the symptoms. If your house is on fire, do you simply cut the fire alarm, or do you put water on the fire?
