Question
I have been going to Chiopractors for numerous years and changed( I moved) to the current one a few years ago.
He seems to be good, however, something has always concerned me.
He did the initial comprehensive evaluation including the x-rays.  What concerns me is that when I come in for visits he does not seem to have a method to determine what may be happening to my spine at that time.  Other Chiropractors in the past would have me lay flat face down and by bending my legs could see the potential problem.
The current DC at times doesn't even ask how I am and goes right into the treatment.

The question - What is the minimum that I should expect before I'm treated?  

Answer
Hello Roger,

   Every doctor has a different style.  If you feel you do not benefit from the treatment you may want to find another doctor of chiropractic.  Minimum- should be how you are feeling today, if the pain or injury has changed, etc.  Basic questions that let the doctor know if you are improving, staying the same, worse, and why.

Have a great day,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
