Imagine a world-class surgeon. They are the kind of doctor whose hands are said to be “golden,” and may save multiple lives before they’ve touched lunch.
Now, how do you suppose such a doctor prepares for surgery? By conducting tests, such as X-rays, to ascertain their patient’s unique health condition and plot the optimal procedure around it? Or just slap on a pair of blue nitriles, and wing it?
If you said Wing it!, then perhaps a career in surgery isn’t for you.
Chiropractors Do Tests, Too
Chiropractic care is most certainly not surgery. That’s one of the main reasons why most Americans are likely to see a chiropractor for neck or back pain: they don’t use scalpels, clamps, or bone files. They also don’t prescribe drugs, which are yet another thing you’d rather not have inside your body (assuming you paid attention during D.A.R.E. class, that is).
Does that mean chiropractors aren’t obligated to conduct tests? Yes. Although all chiropractors treat patients through touch, insight, and intuition, there are some who do more. .
For example, a Pierce Results System practitioner uses the most reliable and accurate technology for spine and nervous system analysis, including:
Static X-ray, which provides a clear picture of the patient’s joints and how they’re aligned
Digital motion X-ray, which captures real-time video of joints and bones in action
Thermography scanning, which measures nerve function and reveals soft tissue injuries
The benefit of combining multiple diagnostic imaging technologies? Precision. Such thorough analysis guides the chiropractor’s hands as they move their patient’s spinal and other joints toward ideal alignment, and improves the efficacy of each follow-up adjustment.
Cadence Chiropractic: A Pierce Results System Practitioner
Only one chiropractic clinic in the state of Minnesota practices the Pierce Results System: none other than Cadence Chiropractic of Eden Prairie. It is where Dr. Amanda Haeg provides technology-driven sports, pregnancy, pediatric, and other forms of chiropractic care including corrective exercises, and attune every adjustment to each patient’s unique health condition through the power of diagnostic imaging.
“I never want to guess when it comes to someone's health,” said Dr. Haeg. “Every spine and nervous system is different, so before we adjust anything, we want real information about what's actually going on – not just what we assume based on where it hurts. We scan and X-ray our patient during each and every visit to our Eden Prairie chiropractic clinic. Whether they’re suffering from migraine, sciatica, joint pain, or any other health issue, the information we gather is vital to determining their best course of action.”
