CHIROPRACTIC DIAGNOSTICS

At Gunderman Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we employ a range of chiropractic diagnostics and methods to gather information and gain insights into our patient’s conditions. These methods typically include:

By combining these diagnostic tools and techniques, we aim to identify biomechanical, musculoskeletal and neurological abnormalities that may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms. By thoroughly understanding the patient’s condition, we can formulate an individualized treatment plan and provide targeted care, including chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, lifestyle modifications, and other supportive therapies to help alleviate pain, restore function and promote overall wellness.

The health history report is similar to your regular doctor’s health history forms and includes information about previous surgeries and what prescription medication you take. We will want to know about any health problems you have, as your health history will help our providers to understand your health concerns and apply the appropriate methods of care.

Baseline X-rays are an important tool in chiropractic diagnostics used to assess the structural integrity and alignment of the spine. They play an important role in chiropractic care, aiding in accurate diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring progress throughout the course of treatment.

These X-rays are typically taken during the initial visit to establish a baseline reference for the patient’s spinal health. X-rays provide a visual representation of the spinal column, helping the chiropractor identify any misalignments, abnormalities or degenerative changes that may be contributing to the patient’s symptoms. By comparing subsequent X-rays to the baseline images, chiropractors can track the progress and effectiveness of the treatment over time.

Baseline X-rays also help chiropractors develop a customized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs, allowing for precise adjustments and targeted care. While X-rays involve a low dose of radiation, the benefits of obtaining valuable insights into the patient’s spinal health often outweigh the minimal risks associated with the procedure.

Nutrition is an important part of maintaining your health and wellness. Studies show that a large portion of the population is deficient in many nutrients that are vital to good health. At Gunderman Chiropractic & Wellness, we can suggest supplements to help correct any nutritional deficiencies you may have. We offer several brands of nutritional products, including Longevity by Nature, Nature’s Sunshine and Nutrametrix.
