Initial Examination
- posted: Aug. 13, 2018
Price Chiropractic's examination is usually more thorough and comprehensive than most medical exams. It includes:
- Intake form with full history (including medications, allergies, surgical Hx, accident/injury Hx, exercise status, sleeping habits, alcohol/smoking habits, and work Hx
- Go over specific condition(s) in detail
- Vitals (including BP, temp, height, weight, and BMI)
- Range of motion
- Neurological evaluation (including sensory, reflexes, and muscle strength. Also, cranial nerve & pathologic reflex testing if needed)
- Orthopedic assessment (specific tests)
- Posture assessment and palpation of affected area
- Radiographs, MRI, and/or blood work (if needed)
A diagnosis is then made, which is similar to any diagnosis that a M.D. or P.T. makes. Sometimes we are restricted by insurances:
- Medicare requires a “739 subluxation” code and a 2nd symptom code. (ie. Cervicalgia, lumbalgia)
- Medicaid only takes “839 vertebra and 722 IVD” codes with no dots.
- Some commercial insurance want everything related to the spine
