Welcome to Alive Chiropractic located in Elm Grove WI. Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it's all about. This article is here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Elm Grove WI chiropractors can help you and your family.
Are you looking for a chiropractor in Elm Grove WI but don’t know where to start? Take a look at our process below and schedule your first appointment today.
- Intake Forms: The first step is crucial for us to understand your prior health history, current health concerns, and any health goals. Completing this intake paperwork before your first visit ensures a smooth and efficient process. You can find the link to the forms on the top right corner of this page.
- Full Consultation: Once your intake paperwork is completed, our team will conduct a detailed consultation to better understand your previous and current health status. We'll also help you set future goals to guide your care journey.
- Spinal Exam: A comprehensive spinal examination will help us identify where structural shifts and subluxations may have occurred, providing critical insights into your spine's condition.
- Digital X-Rays: If necessary, we use state-of-the-art digital x-rays to detect curves, degeneration, or loss of disc space in your spine. These findings provide valuable details that can't be identified during the physical exam alone.
- Day 2: Personalized Report of Findings & Care Recommendations: After your x-rays are taken, the doctor will take some time to thoroughly review all your exams and findings. Typically within 24-48 hours, you'll return for a second appointment where the doctor will sit down with you one-on-one. During this session, they will:
- Go over your exam results and x-rays in detail.
- Explain the specific recommendations for your care plan.
If you decide to move forward with care, you will receive your first adjustment during this visit.
Evaluation
After taking your health history into account, your chiropractor will perform a physical examination. Your chiropractor may feel your spine, joints, and examine your range of motion.
Assessment
A chiropractic exam will be thorough and may include X-rays, orthopedic tests, and neurological tests.
Spinal Exam
To determine what parts of your spine would require chiropractic treatment, your chiropractor will likely use a palpation technique to find what areas of your spine's mobility are restricted.
X-Rays
At Alive Chiropractic, we often use x-rays as a valuable tool to understand what's happening beneath the surface. They help us pinpoint the source of your concerns, assess their impact, and guide us in creating the most effective care plan for you.
