The primary consideration when selecting garments for a chiropractic appointment is comfort and range of motion. Clothing should permit the practitioner to adequately assess and treat the musculoskeletal system without restriction. For example, wearing loose-fitting athletic wear is preferable to stiff or restrictive materials.
Choosing appropriate attire can contribute to a more effective and comfortable treatment session. Garments that allow for ease of movement facilitate diagnostic procedures and therapeutic interventions. Historically, patients may have been advised to disrobe partially; however, contemporary practice emphasizes maintaining modesty while ensuring access for treatment.
