Physical Examination and Diagnostic Tests
Dr. White will have you perform several movements so he can view your range of motion and posture. You may be asked to bend from side to side, forward and backward.
•Bending in different directions measures flexibility and may aid in the evaluation of stiffness and abnormal curvature of the spine, as seen in scoliosis.
•The Straight Leg Raise measures tension and irritation to the sciatic nerve (sciatica) and flexibility of the hamstring muscle.
•Measuring the length of each leg helps Dr. White determine if there is a discrepancy in leg length. The chiropractic adjustment may help to balance the pelvis and correct leg length discrepancy.
•Posture is easy to check when the patient is standing or sitting. Poor posture is one of the leading causes of joint and muscle pain, spinal misalignment, and subluxation.
If necessary, Dr. White may order an x-ray or MRI studies.
