Examination

If our consultation suggests that you’d likely be helped with chiropractic care, we’ll need to perform a complete examination. Our 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:


Physical

This is a general evaluation that may include the recording of height, weight, pulse, blood pressure and similar objective measurements.


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.


Chiropractic

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


sEMG

Surface electromyography is an instrument that locates subluxation patterns by measuring electrical activity in the muscles supporting the spine.


Thermography

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


X-ray

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

Dr. Eric & Dr. Arlene Asks some important questions of interest to Pomona residents - Chiropractor Pomona Dr. Eric & Dr. Arlene Asks...

Which organs are extra?
You don't have any spare parts. Sure, we can survive without our tonsils, appendix, gall bladder and several other tissues, but each serves a purpose. We chiropractors recognize this. So the chiropractic approach I use in Pomona is to reduce nerve interferences to the control and regulation of every tissue, organ and system of your body.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Pomona folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
