The chiropractor will start by asking you about your medical history and what your main reason for making an appointment is. A physical examination will then be performed by the doctor. Imaging or lab tests may be required to confirm a diagnosis. Taking the above into consideration, the chiropractor will then reach a diagnosis and advise you whether chiropractic treatment is necessary. As part of this process, the chiropractor will explain your condition to you and recommend a treatment plan. There may be situations where the chiropractor feels that your condition may be better treated by another health practitioner, then he/she will proceed to make the relevant referral.
The chiropractor will start by asking parents about the infant’s medical history, birth process and the main concern for making an appointment. A physical examination will then be performed by the doctor. During the examination, the doctor will check for conditions or signs that may link to the initial complaint of the patient/infant. The doctor will screen for common paediatric conditions such as positional plagiocephaly/flat head syndrome, torticollis, hip dysplasia and so on. The chiropractor will explain the condition and recommend a treatment plan as well as teach any necessary techniques e.g. how to wind and alleviate pain from gas that your baby may have. The main idea is to get parents to better understand their baby’s condition and empower parents by enabling them to deal with the condition in a better way.
Chiropractic adjustment or manipulation is a manual procedure that utilises the highly refined skills developed during the Doctor of Chiropractic’s intensive years of chiropractic education. The chiropractic physician typically uses his or her hands – or an instrument – to gently manipulate the joints of the body (more specifically the spine) to restore or enhance joint function. This often helps resolve joint inflammation and reduces the patient’s pain. Chiropractic manipulation is a highly controlled procedure that rarely causes discomfort. The chiropractor adapts the procedure to meet the specific needs of each patient. Patients often note positive changes in their symptoms immediately following treatment.
Adjustment (or manipulation) of a joint may result in the release of a gas bubble in the joints, which makes a popping sound. The same thing occurs when you “crack” your knuckles. The noise is caused by the change of pressure within the joint, which results in gas bubbles being released. There is usually minimal, if any, discomfort involved.
