Systems Chiropractic™

Step-by-Step Examination Process

Systems Chiropractic relies on a systematic diagnostic approach that uncovers dysfunctions in postural dynamics, neurological responses, and musculoskeletal integrity. Precision begins with a dynamic postural evaluation, performed while the patient is in an erect, functional position—whether sitting or standing—to accurately capture the natural alignment and gravitational influences on their body.

The refined assessment process includes:

• ⚖️ Dynamic Mechanical Loading: Clinicians apply controlled biomechanical stress using principles such as the inverted pendulum. This approach engages specific body segments in mechanical loading, allowing for segmental testing of balance and stability while isolating dysfunction.
• 🧠 Neurological Response Observation: Evaluating neurological responses is pivotal. Practitioners observe shifts in attention, perceptual changes, and multisensory integration to gauge how the central nervous system coordinates posture and movement.
• 🎯 Targeted Tissue Assessment: Through precise palpation and movement analysis, clinicians pinpoint joint, muscle, and fascial tissue dysfunctions. In addition, targeted physiological stimulations—such as vibration—are employed to assess specific tissue involvement. These tests help evaluate proprioceptive inputs from muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs, offering insight into the fidelity of neuromuscular regulation.
• 🔍 Vertebral Analysis: Finally, practitioners determine vertebral involvement by identifying discrepancies at the segmental level, assessing side-specific variations, and evaluating positional relationships that may affect biomechanical efficiency.

This comprehensive examination process scrutinizes every facet of the patient's structural and neurological function, laying a solid foundation for tailored, precision-driven interventions.
