Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. 78750 patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Can a chiropractor actually help with back pain?+
Yes, for mechanical low back pain caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or disc pressure. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review found spinal manipulation reduces pain and improves function.
