When Diagnosing a Whiplash Injury, our Ocala Whiplash doctors will begin by asking the patient a series of questions to better understand their symptoms, followed by three separate types of diagnostic testing.
The three diagnostic tests we use are neurological, physical and diagnostic images.
The physical and neurological tests that your doctor will perform will involve an examination of your range of motion, reflexes, sensation in your limbs, and tenderness to your shoulders neck and upper back.
Sometimes, this will include performing tasks like walking, jumping, or sitting to observe your body’s’ ability to move.
They will also check the alignment of your spine to find if anything is out of place. This part of the exam is done by the chiropractor placing their hands on the patient to feel for misalignments.
Once your Whiplash Chiropractor has finished the physical and neurological testing, they will order diagnostic testing such as an x-ray, computerized tomography (CT) scan or a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The X-Rays and CT scans are beneficial because they show your bone structure and can provide information on any damage that has been done to your bones.
MRI scans are beneficial because they provide images of the soft tissues and cross-sections between the soft-tissues and bones.
