There are a few HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO MENTION TO YOUR CHIROPRACTOR - even if they don’t seem directly related to your back or neck.
This isn’t to “rule you out” from care. It’s to make sure your care is safe, appropriate, and tailored to you.
Here are some key ones to share:
RECENT SURGERY OR FRACTURES
Healing tissues need the right approach. Your chiropractor may adapt assessment and treatment methods to suit your recovery stage.
BLOOD THINNING MEDICATIONS OR BLEEDING DISORDERS
These can affect how certain techniques are chosen and what is safest.
NERVE SYMPTOMS (tingling, numbness, weakness)
These symptoms are important to assess properly and may influence the urgency or type of care recommended.
CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS (e.g. inflammatory arthritis, autoimmune conditions)
These can affect joint health, flare-ups, and how the body responds to physical care.
OSTEOPOROSIS OR LOW BONE DENSITY
This can influence technique selection and how force is applied, especially around the spine.
PREGNANCY
Pregnancy can change posture, joint mobility, and comfort in certain positions — and care may be modified accordingly.
The more your chiropractor knows, the better they can plan care that fits your situation — and help you move forward with confidence.
