Good question. At Pairmore & Young our team of chiropractors are sensitive to the fact that patients have questions about how our detailed evaluation and specific treatment protocols may work for them and the best way to answer those questions is with a face to face conversation and pre-evaluation. We call this visit a Complementary Pre-Consultation.

Thousands of area residents suffer from pain and symptoms that often respond well to the procedures we provide. As a service to our community, we use these appointments to review past medical records, x-ray, MRI or CTScan imaging studies, and to perform certain functional tests as indicated. Only after this can the applicability of specific procedures be reliably determined.

The Complementary Pre-Consultation includes:

• A review of the medical records you provide.
• An interview with a chiropractor about the problem(s) you are facing.
• A spinal palpation examination identifying segments that show muscular imbalance, swelling or edema, hyper- or hypo-mobility and pain sensitivity.
• A postural exam that evaluates visible postural imbalance and provides a static electromyograph (EMG) showing muscular imbalance and compensation on a functional basis.

Once the Complementary Pre-Consultation evaluation is complete, you and the doctor will have the ability to better determine if further evaluation and treatment is likely to improve your condition which may include the Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic technique – a gentle, effective approach to renewed health and relief of discomfort without manipulation.
