What Should I Expect During My Deviated Septum Assessment?
Dr. Rob will carefully listen to your concerns and review your full medical history with you.
This will be followed by observation of your posture and range of motion.
Then the doctor will palpate (feel) your full spine to determine if there is any vertebral displacement affecting your condition.
If warranted, digital imaging (X-ray, MRI, or CT scan) may be ordered to ensure the doctor can conduct a thorough visual assessment of the spine and associated soft tissues.
Finally, using the findings gathered from the steps above, our Lehi chiropractor will determine a comprehensive scientifically based, effective, and efficient treatment plan tailored to achieve your individual’s health and recovery goals.

These techniques may help you avoid the risks and expenses of nasal surgery.
