Assessment & Consultation
← Back to Chiropractic Full Spinal & Postural Assessment

Start with a full picture of how you move.

Every chiropractic plan at NextWave begins here — a hands-on evaluation of your spine, posture, and movement patterns that sets the baseline for everything that follows.

Dr. Chase begins with a full evaluation of your spinal alignment, posture, range of motion, and gait, along with a review of any pain, stiffness, or old injuries. Nothing is adjusted during this visit — the goal is to understand exactly what's going on before any hands-on treatment starts.

If the assessment points to something an X-ray would clarify, that's done on-site the same visit. Findings are reviewed with you directly, and together you'll map out what a course of adjustments should look like.

New chiropractic patients: this assessment is required before your first adjustment. It gives your care team the full picture needed to adjust safely and effectively — most new patients complete it in the same visit as their first consultation.

What chiropractic care addresses.

Chiropractic care focuses on evaluating and treating problems involving the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. Hands-on spinal adjustments and other manual therapies improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, and support normal nervous system function.

Who may benefit most

  • Acute or chronic low back pain
  • Neck pain or stiffness
  • Migraines and cervicogenic headaches
  • Joint restrictions affecting mobility
  • Musculoskeletal pain related to posture, repetitive activities, or minor injuries

Why X-rays come first

Before beginning treatment, X-rays function as a valuable asset in the examination. They allow evaluation of spinal alignment, identify structural changes, detect conditions such as arthritis or fractures, and rule out abnormalities that may affect the treatment plan. They help ensure that care is tailored to the patient's individual condition and that treatment is both appropriate and safe.
