What To Expect During a Chiropractic Spinal Screening
If you turn to Cocio Chiropractic for a spinal screening in Mesa, you can expect the following:
Health History Assessment & Symptom Evaluation
Generally, we will start our screening by gathering information about existing conditions, past injuries, lifestyle habits, and overall health. We will also spend time discussing your specific symptoms.
The Screening
Our chiropractor will perform a careful spinal screening to evaluate your spine’s alignment and joint mobility and identify any issues affecting your nervous system.
The screening can involve several assessment methods, such as:
- Orthopedic tests: Assessments of joint function, nerve compression, muscle strength, and other musculoskeletal factors that can impact spinal health
- Palpations: Hands-on examinations of the spine and surrounding tissues to identify tender areas, muscle tension, joint misalignments, or inflammation
- Postural analysis: An assessment to locate postural imbalances contributing to spinal and/or other musculoskeletal problems
- Diagnostic imaging: X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans that may be necessary to visualize the spine’s structure and detect underlying issues
Post-Screening Discussion
After the screening, we will explain our findings and answer your questions. Using our screening results, we can tailor a treatment plan that may feature spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, lifestyle changes, and more.

When Should You Get a Spinal Screening?
The answer generally depends on your age and medical history. Young children should get regular spinal screenings starting at age 10. Specifically, these screenings are meant to detect scoliosis.
For adults, spinal screenings can be useful after accidents, such as car wrecks, that may have damaged the spine. They can also benefit those experiencing pain and other musculoskeletal issues that may stem from the spine.
