How does a chiropractic know what part of spine hurts?
I was at a chiropractic office and somehow he told me where it hurts before I told him. How does he do it?
Chiropractors are specialists who focus on the alignment of the spine.
In medical terminology, chiropractic medicine is based on the idea of subluxation, which refers to the altered position of the vertebra in comparison to the other vertebrae in the spine, and the subsequent loss of functioning that may result due to this misalignment or joint dysfunction.
Chiropractors are very skilled with their hands, and specialize in touching techniques known as palpations. By simply feeling different areas of the spine, chiropractors can often note where the subluxation is taking place and pinpoint likely areas of pain within patients.
Chiropractors may also use X-rays and other pieces of equipment to determine areas of pain, but in your case, it sounds like these tools were not incorporated. As noted above by another user, chiropractors may be able to develop an initial idea of the source of the pain simply by your movements or how you react to palpation.
Have a nice weekend.
