The evaluation tests how the joint moves and where restriction or instability exists, and whether the pain pattern points to a local problem or a compensation from elsewhere. Dr. Bronstein also reviews any existing imaging and assesses spinal alignment, because joint pain and spinal mechanics are frequently connected.
Patients leave the evaluation with a clear picture of what is causing the pain and whether chiropractic care is appropriate. Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic does not recommend treatment without first determining that the problem is one that structural correction can meaningfully improve.
