How Chiropractors Evaluate Cervical Spine Function

Effective neck care begins with proper evaluation. Chiropractic assessment focuses on motion, alignment, and nerve response. This helps identify contributing factors.

Evaluation is movement-based rather than symptom-based. Findings guide personalized care.

Assessment commonly includes:

• Postural analysis – Reviewing head and shoulder alignment. This reveals strain patterns.
• Cervical motion testing – Assessing how the neck moves in each direction. Restrictions are noted.
• Neurological indicators – Checking nerve responses related to the neck. This supports accuracy.

This approach ensures care is targeted and appropriate.
