Ever wondered what happens after your chiropractic examination? 🩺
A Report of Findings is an important part of your care because it brings everything together and helps you understand what was found, what it means, and what your care may look like moving forward.
During your report of findings, your chiropractor will typically review:
🔹 Your history & examination findings — What you’ve shared about your health, symptoms, and goals, along with the findings from your physical examination.
🔹 Your diagnosis — An explanation of the clinical findings and the diagnosis that may help explain your current condition.
🔹 Your recommended treatment plan — This outlines the methods of treatment recommended (ie, joint adjustments, soft tissue therapy, rehab exercises, acupuncture, etc). It also includes the frequency and expected duration of treatment, based on your individual needs and goals.
🔹 Your informed consent — You should have the opportunity to ask questions, understand the proposed care, discuss potential benefits and risks of treatment, and make an informed decision about whether you wish to proceed.
A report of findings isn’t simply about telling you what’s wrong — it’s about education, transparency, and shared decision-making. You should leave with a clear understanding of your findings and your options for care. 💙
Your care should always be individualized, understandable, and informed.
