Chiropractic Examinations & Evaluations in Portland, OR
A thorough examination is the foundation of effective injury care. Before treatment begins, it’s essential to understand what happened, where the injury is located, and how best to address it. Skipping this step can lead to treating symptoms rather than the underlying cause.
At Graffeo Accident & Injury Clinic, our examinations and evaluations are comprehensive, well-documented, and tailored to your specific injury and circumstances — whether you’re seeking care after a car accident, a workplace injury, or for an insurance or legal claim.
If you’re searching for a chiropractic examination or injury evaluation in Portland, you’re in the right place.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment begins with a detailed consultation. Our team will speak with you to understand the nature of your injury — how it occurred, where you’re experiencing pain or discomfort, and how your daily function has been affected since the incident.
From there, we perform a thorough physical evaluation to identify areas of misalignment and determine what may be contributing to your symptoms. In some cases, diagnostic imaging may be recommended to better understand the extent of your injury.
Because every injury and every patient is different, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your evaluation is treated as an individual case, with the focused attention your situation deserves.
What Your Examination Includes
A chiropractic examination at Graffeo Accident & Injury Clinic typically includes:Comprehensive Health History Review
A detailed discussion of your injury, symptoms, prior conditions, and how your function has changed since the incident.
Physical Chiropractic Evaluation
Assessment of spinal alignment, range of motion, muscle function, and areas of pain or restriction.
Diagnostic Imaging (When Necessary)
Referral for MRI or digital X-rays to trusted imaging centers when appropriate to better evaluate your condition and guide treatment.
Professional Medical Assessment
A formal, written report of findings that can be used for your personal records, insurance provider, or legal team.
Personalized Treatment Recommendations
A clear plan of care designed to address the root cause of your pain and support your recovery.
Evaluations for Insurance and Legal Cases
When an injury involves an insurance claim or personal injury case, documentation is just as important as treatment. A specific protocol for examination and reporting must be followed to ensure your case is properly supported.
At Graffeo Accident & Injury Clinic, we have extensive experience providing the detailed medical documentation required by attorneys and insurance providers. We guide patients through this process step-by-step to ensure nothing is missed.
Why Proper Evaluation Matters
Injuries — especially those caused by accidents or sudden trauma — can be more complex than they initially appear. Symptoms may take hours or even days to fully develop, and what feels minor at first can worsen without proper care.
Without accurate documentation from the beginning, both your recovery and your insurance or legal case may be affected.
Early evaluation allows us to establish a clear baseline, identify issues before they become chronic, and build a treatment plan based on accurate findings from day one.
