Diagnostic Testing at Blue Ridge Family Chiropractic

Before we physically examine you at Blue Ridge Family Chiropractic, we have a thorough discussion (30-45 minutes) of your past, present and family medical history.  After range of motion testing, we start an instrumentation exam.  We use an instrument called a Nerv-o-scope; it measures heat given off from inflammation in your spine.  The instrument is painless to use and not only helps us find exactly where your spinal problems are, but also monitors your condition as you’re getting better.  This instrument is specific to Gonstead Chiropractic care, however other chiropractic techniques have also adopted it.    

We see a variety of cases in our clinic.  Obviously we treat a lot of low back pain, neck pain, herniated discs and pinched nerve patients.  We also see a lot of patients who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, arm, leg or wrist pain, numbness and migraine headaches.  Diagnostic testing helps us distinguish whether or not your pinched nerves are becoming damaged.  It also helps us tell whether your leg pain is coming from a pinched nerve or a blocked artery in the leg.
