We’ll conduct a thorough examination to location the cause of your problem and formulate your care schedule.

Examination

If our consultation suggests that you’d likely be helped with chiropractic care, we’ll need to perform a complete examination. Our patients often comment on how thorough our examination is, compared with other practitioners they’ve consulted.

Our examination varies based upon what we discover during the evaluation of your health history. What we find will tell us which examinations we need to conduct:


Orthopedic

These examinations test your ability to turn, bend and move key joints of your skeletal system through their expected range of motion.


Neurological

We’ll test your dermatomes, deep tendon reflexes, muscle strength and other aspects pointing to the health of your central nervous system.


Chiropractic

These tests can include postural evaluations, static and dynamic palpation and other procedures to reveal neurological problems.


sEMG

Surface electromyography is an instrument that locates subluxation patterns by measuring electrical activity in the muscles supporting the spine.


Thermography

Thermography is a way of measuring tiny differences in skin temperature that can reveal nervous system disturbances.


X-ray

Diagnostic imaging can help locate any bone abnormalities, fractures and reveal your spine’s phase of spinal decay.

 Dr. Scott Stuck Asks some important questions of interest to Plainfield residents - Chiropractor Plainfield Dr. Scott Stuck Asks...

Can chiropractic relieve PMS?
If you have vertebral subluxations, especially in the lower spine that impair nerves that direct and monitor the reproductive and hormonal systems, chiropractic could be helpful. Undetected vertebral subluxations may also be responsible for pelvic pain, incontinence, sexual dysfunction and even infertility. Maybe chiropractic can help. Find out!
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Plainfield parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
