3 Weeks of chiropractic treatment for a low back injury is not uncommon, but it is more important to address what caused the low back injury and when it occurred as well as the overall health of the injured party. Chiropractors are very well trained in the diagnostics of neuromuscloskeletal injuries; therefore a patient would first undergo a full history and exam. During the exam the doctor will perform several functional, muscle and neural evaluation tests to assess the involved areas, if applicable radiographs may be taken to rule out excessive instability, fractures and/or pathologies. The complete evaluation will help the doctor develop a proper diagnosis and then complete a treatment plan. The doctor will then explain the report of findings to the patient and obtain informed consent, in order to treat. A treatment plan varies from patient to patient and depending on patient compliance, healing time and injured areas the length of treatment varies.
