How Does a Chiropractor Diagnose Neck Pain?

Your chiropractor needs to evaluate your spine as a whole because other part of the neck, low back, and mid back may be affected as well. Along with treating your spine, neck, low back, and mid-back, chiropractors treat the “whole individual,” not just the identified symptoms. A Chiropractic in San Francisco may educate you on stress management, nutrition, and lifestyle management in addition to your neck pain treatment.

Before deciding which medical treatment to try for your neck pain, your chiropractor will do an examination to diagnose the particular cause of the pain.

They will determine any points of restricted structural movement and will check at how you walk, spinal alignment and overall posture. Doing these stuff can help your chiropractor understand everything that is related to your neck pain.

Besides a physical exam, they will also go through your past medical history, and they may recommend imaging tests (eg, MRI or X-ray) to help them diagnose the real cause of your neck pain.
All these processes will give your chiropractor more details about your body, which will help them create a chiropractic treatment plan for you.

Your chiropractor will also rule out surgery if chiropractic treatment is best—if they believe your pain would require surgery, then you’ll be referred to a spine specialist.

Your chiropractor may use a combination of manual therapy, spinal manipulation, and other chiropractic techniques as part of your treatment.Here are some spinal manipulation techniques you might undergo.

  • Flexion-distraction technique
  • Instrument-assisted manipulation
  • Specific spinal manipulation
