How Can Cashel Chiropractic Help Me Relieve My Back Pain?
On your first visit, Dr. Rob will carefully listen to your concerns and your health goals and then review your full medical history with you.
This will be followed by observation of your posture, range of motion, muscle strength, and how you sit and walk. Any deviation from proper posture will be measured and documented.
Then, our chiropractor in Lehi will palpate (feel) your full spine to determine if there is any vertebral displacement that may be causing your posture.
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 the Lehi chiropractor will determine a comprehensive, scientifically based, effective, and efficient treatment plan tailored to relieve your lower back pain and achieve your individual health goals.
