The Glen Eden Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Glen Eden

We conduct a thorough examination to locate the cause of your health problem.

Examination

If our consultation suggests that you’d likely be helped with chiropractic care, we’ll need to perform a complete examination. Our West Auckland area patients often comment on how thorough our examination is, compared with other practitioners they’ve consulted.

Our examination varies based upon what we discover during the evaluation of your health history. What we find will tell us which examinations we need to conduct:

Chiropractic

These tests can include postural evaluations, static and dynamic palpation and other procedures to reveal neurological problems.

 

Orthopedic

These examinations test your ability to turn, bend and move key joints of your skeletal system through their expected range of motion.

 

Neurological

We’ll test your dermatomes, deep tendon reflexes, muscle strength and other aspects pointing to the health of your central nervous system.

 

Thermography

Thermography is a way of measuring tiny differences in skin temperature that can reveal nervous system disturbances.

 

Electromyogram

Electromyogram (EMG) is a way of measuring differences in function of the muscles that support the spine.

 

X-ray

Diagnostic imaging can help locate any bone abnormalities, fractures and reveal your spine’s phase of spinal decay.

Ash Asks some important questions of interest to Glen Eden residents - Chiropractor Glen Eden Ash Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Glen Eden chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
