In order to find out what is both wrong, and also, potentially causing the problem in the first place it will be necessary to perform a full examination. The first thing that will be done is to use our hand held scanner. This piece of equipment is widely used by chiropractors in the USA, it is designed to detect subtle heat differences on each side of the spine, thereby indicating possible sites of inflammation. The second function of the device is to read the electrical signals of the muscles in your back, thereby gauging if the muscles are over or underactive, or just right. The final function of the device is to measure your resting heart rate. Once it has all this data it will then present an overall picture and a score of how well or poorly - whatever the case may be - your overall spinal function is. 

Once this is done, the next phase will be a more traditional hands on examination that will use palpation, orthopaedic testing and some simple neurological tests to rule out anything more serious before we begin. Once these phases are completed, a working diagnosis can be given, and the first step toward your recovery can commence.
