During your first visit, the chiropractor will want to know about your health history and your current complaint. Your home and work life, as well as your level of physical activity may also affect your health, so questions may be asked regarding these aspects of your daily life.
Although chiropractors use their hands for most treatments, they also use other methods such as heat, light, specialized adjusting instruments, ultrasound, electrotherapy, personalized exercise programs, muscle-testing and balancing. Your chiropractor can also give you information and guidance on how you can stay healthy through proper nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes.
