You know what hurts. You suffer with the pain. You want relief.
You play an essential roll in determining what is causing your pain during the diagnosis process. This diagnosis process is the foundation on which your care is administered. If the diagnosis is wrong, the treatment plan is off, and the pain relief you are seeking won't come as quickly.
Throughout the examination process, you will share your pain's history as well as past and present symptoms. You will discuss any family history of those in your family who may experience back pain, too. Your chiropractic doctor will put all these related issues together for a diagnosis, but, for now, see what condition(s) your symptoms may suggest.
