Tell your chiropractor about: Why you want help Past injuries. All your medical conditions. Any medications you take. Any use of drugs or alcohol. Your lifestyle habits including exercise, diet, stress and sleep.

He or she will also test your muscle strength, reflexes, and range of motion. In some cases, the chiropractor might order X-rays or a blood pressure check. A chiropractor might start treatment at your first visit.
