We begin with a comprehensive patient history followed by a routine medical exam, checking weight, blood pressure, etc. We then move on to chiropractic, orthopedic and neurological testing, checking for decreased reflexes and range of motion and addressing areas of pain or lack of function. Next, patients receive a full spinal evaluation checking for nervous system interference in the form of subluxations throughout the entire spine.

If throughout the examination, the doctor notices any decreased function or severe levels of pain, x-rays may be taken. Any x-rays taken of the neck and spine would be to ensure that there are no signs of injury or damage that the doctor should be aware of before treatment is administered. Upon completion of the examination, the patient is then asked to return for a follow-up visit. We then take the results of these tests and compile them into a patient-friendly, easy to understand report of findings and present it to the patient.

At Ocean View Chiropractic, we believe that patient education is paramount in ensuring proper care for the patients. We empower every chiropractic patient to decide their own level of commitment to care by arming them with the same in-depth knowledge that the doctor gathered prior to creating their treatment plan. This is done so that a patient can make the most informed decision when advised to utilize additional services or perform at-home stretches and exercises.
