You know what hurts. You suffer with the pain. You want relief.
You play a vital roll in determining what is causing your pain during the diagnosis process. This diagnosis process is the building block on which your care is administered. If the diagnosis is wrong, the treatment plan won’t be right, and the pain relief you want won't come as swiftly.
Throughout the examination process, you will share your pain's history as well as past and present symptoms. You will share any family history of those in your family who may experience back pain, as well. Your chiropractic doctor will put all these related issues together for a diagnosis, but, for now, see what condition(s) your symptoms may point to.
