Our Examination consists of a thorough spinal and nervous system exam which includes "Palpation". Palpation essentially is checking your spine by hand. With this exam the doctor can feel areas of your spine that may be involved with subluxations problems. Spinal position, curvatures and muscle tone can also be examined as it relates to possible spinal subluxations.
One of the most important components of this first day is your Digital X-rays. Dr. Bauer always requires certain necessary views of the spine in order to determine your precise areas of subluxation as well as your current state of Osteoarthritis (if any). These two factors are essential in determining the amount of care required to achieve optimal spinal health.
