Chiropractic Consultation

Upon your first visit, our chiropractor will before a health assessment, ask questions, and get to know exactly what’s happening to you.

Assessment

During a chiropractic consultation, the practitioner will assess your medical history and any chronic pains or injuries. They will ask questions such as when your pain started and if you have had any recent surgeries. This information helps them understand if your discomfort is related to the bone, joint, or nervous system.

Chiropractic care can be a helpful complement to traditional medicine, and the consultation is an important step in determining a treatment plan. At the end of the consultation, your chiropractor may recommend certain adjustments or exercises to alleviate your pain. Remember to keep them updated on any changes in your health, as this will inform the effectiveness of your chiropractic care.

Exam

  • The chiropractor will then move on to the physical exam to test the motion range in the affected part of your body. The exam would also include:
    Test for resistance or rigidity in muscles.
  • Testing nerve flow and neurological integrity.
  • X-Ray, MRI and other diagnostic studies if needed

Diagnosis

Findings from the patient’s history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests usually help the chiropractor to arrive at a specific diagnosis. Once the latter is established, the best course of action will be explained to you in detail.

Highly recommend. I went in here because I was in desperate need of relief. I could barely move my arms above my head because my neck was so out.

I had seen other chiropractors in the past and being a massage therapist myself, I had recently gotten massage after massage to try relieve it but it didn’t get rid of the pain.

I was referred to Dr. Bridges and he made me feel safe and relaxed right away and he was able to adjust my neck back to where it belonged. I was better the very next day.

I highly recommend Bridges Chiropractic. Best Chiropractor in Ames, hands down. He is firm without being careless. He has a healers gift that is rare in chiropractic care. Also is great with kids!
