CONSULTATION/EXAM
Information is gathered to gain an understanding of the onset, duration and nature of your condition. You will receive a thorough examination consisting of chiropractic, neurological and orthopedic tests performed to determine the extent of your condition and to determine if the complaint may respond to chiropractic care. X-RAYS If your consultation and examination findings indicate that your condition may respond to chiropractic care, x-rays will be taken and developed at that time. X-rays are needed for the following reasons: 
1) to analyze the spine for alignment and posture and to
detect spinal curvatures;
2) to detect spinal degeneration and osteoarthritis; 3) to detect and rule out fractures and pathological conditions. This information guides the doctor in performing an effective
spinal adjustment.
Parkhurst Chiropractic offers state-of-the art digital x-ray
technology that offers less radiation exposure to patients and allows the
doctors to enhance any x-ray by zooming in on specific areas. It also
allows the doctors to save the x-rays on computer disk and be able to provide
patients with a copy of the disk as requested.
The x-rays will be reviewed with you to verify the location of any subluxations (misaligned vertebrae that damage the nerves and surrounding tissues and adversely affect your health.) DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLAN Based on your history, examination and x-ray findings, it will be determined if chiropractic can help your condition. If chiropractic care is not suitable for your condition, we readily refer patients to the appropriate health care provider. If you choose to become a patient at Parkhurst Chiropractic, a personalized treatment plan will be developed for you. Treatment methods may include spinal manipulations, traction and an exercise plan aimed at building flexibility, strength and overall well-being in addition to nutritional and lifestyle counseling.
