(Medical-NewsWire.com, September 20, 2012 ) Fair Oaks, CA – A first visit to a chiropractor can be a little daunting if one has never visited one before. Potocki Family Chiropractic and Laser Center in Fair Oaks provides information on their website to potential patients to make sure patients are prepared for their first visit.
One should be ready to provide their medical history, which will be essential for preparing a course of treatment. Medical records, such as diagnostic test results, or imaging results, such as X-rays and MRIs, also will provide important information about one’s condition.
First of all, Dr. Potocki, like all Fair Oaks Chiropractors, will perform a physical exam to check one’s signs, reflexes, and blood pressure.
Sometimes measurements will be taken to determine arm and leg length. Next, the patient will be asked to do a series of simple and easy activities or exercises. These exercises will provide information about one’s motor skills, balance, and gait, among others. These tests also help determine one’s range of motion, muscle tone and strength, and integrity of one’s nervous system. Any abnormalities could provide clues about a condition.
Next, a short physical exam by the chiropractor will involve palpation, or use of the hands, to explore the alignment of one’s spine and other structures, as well as provide information on any stimuli that may cause pain. Depending on one’s condition, a series of diagnostic tests may follow. These tests may include MRIs, CT scans, X-rays, blood work, and other laboratory tests.
The chiropractor may also consult with the patient about making important lifestyle changes, such as exercise, nutrition, and smoking cessation to improve one’s chances of healing faster or preventing further injury.
To read more about the physical exam, one should visit http://www.drpotocki.com/ or to make an appointment, call 916-536-0400.
