Objective Data for Chiropractors

A chiropractor should take the time to do a thorough clinical examination and accurately measure some objective data. He or she will then use the findings to produce an adequate treatment plan.

Data to be measured include:

• Postural analysis
• Gait analysis
• Surface electromyograph
• Muscle response testing
• Active and passive ranges of motion
• Muscle length
• Palpation tenderness
• Reflex point analysis
