The Raleigh Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Raleigh

Your First Visit to Gray Family Chiropractic

Upon entering our office you will feel removed from the hustle and bustle. We are situated in a cul de sac and our office is warm and inviting. We provide our office forms online or we will be happy to fax them to you. This process takes about 15 minutes to fill out. We show you a short 7 minute video about chiropractic to familiarize you with what to expect.

Promptly following the video, you are taken back to an examination room for a personal consult with the doctor to discuss your health concerns. Your doctor will gather information about your medical history to ascertain the depth of your complaint. Certain information in your health history provides important clues that will allow us to properly diagnose your problem.  This is essential for preparing a unique course of treatment for you.  After obtaining your history, a physical examination will be performed utilizing orthopedic and neurological tests to determine your health status.  You will be asked to do a series of simple and easy activities or exercises.  These exercises provide information about your motor skills, balance, and gait.  They help determine your range of motion, muscle tone and strength. Any abnormalities provide us clues about the integrity of your nervous system.  Next your chiropractor will perform a chiropractic spinal examination designed to detect for any vertebral subluxations, or spinal misalignments which produce nerve interference and disrupt health.  Your doctor will palpate with her hands to feel the alignment of your spine moving it in different motions.  Both of the doctors utilize the Gonstead Analysis to check for vertebral subluxations (see Technique page).  Depending on your condition, a series of spinal x-rays may follow.  The chiropractic examination will reveal whether or not you are a candidate for care.  If not, an appropriate referral is made if your condition is not of a chiropractic nature.
