class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Planning is based on a <b>detailed medical history<\/b> and a <b>neuromusculoskeletal examination<\/b> problem-oriented. History, medication (e.g., anticoagulants), psychosocial factors and <b>RED FLAGS<\/b> such as progressive neurological deficit, fever, relevant trauma, suspected fracture, infection or neoplasia. With the information available, the following is performed <b>clinical and differential diagnosis<\/b>, identifying <b>indications and contraindications<\/b> for manual techniques (including high-speed manipulation). Where appropriate, imaging or referral is requested. Prior to intervention, the following is established <b>informed consent<\/b> and remember <b>realistic functional objectives<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plan_terapeutico_y_dosificacion\"><\/span>Therapeutic plan and dosage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The plan is designed on an individual basis, prioritising patient safety and preference. It may include a combination of <b>mobilisation<\/b> and\/or <b>manipulation<\/b> where indicated, techniques for <b>soft tissues<\/b>, <b>therapeutic exercise<\/b> y <b>education<\/b> (ergonomics, self-care). The <b>frequency and intensity<\/b> are matched to the clinical presentation and comorbidities, starting with the <b>minimum effective dose<\/b> and a limited trial period. Coordination with other professionals where appropriate and avoidance of interventions if the child is not in need. <b>risk-benefit balance<\/b> is not favourable.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seguimiento_medidas_y_ajuste\"><\/span>Monitoring, measures and adjustment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Progress is monitored with <b>objective and subjective measures<\/b> (e.g., functional changes, activity tolerance, validated scales) in <b>scheduled re-evaluations<\/b>.

The reason for consultation, onset and evolution, location and irradiation, aggravating or relieving factors, previous episodes and response to treatment are investigated. The following are assessed <b>RED FLAGS<\/b> such as significant trauma, fever, unintentional weight loss, history of cancer, immunosuppression, persistent nocturnal pain, progressive neurological disturbances or sphincter dysfunction. Relevant co-morbidities are recorded (e.g, <b>osteoporosis<\/b>, coagulation disorders), medication (including <b>anticoagulants<\/b>), previous surgeries, habits, work and sports demands, sleep and psychosocial factors (stress, pain beliefs, fear avoidance). Realistic functional goals and expectations are explored, as well as patient preferences for shared decision-making.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exploracion_fisica_y_pruebas_complementarias\"><\/span>Physical examination and complementary tests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The assessment combines inspection of posture and gait, active and passive range of motion, palpation of soft tissues and vertebral segments, and prudently applied orthopaedic testing. The <b>neurological examination<\/b> (strength, reflexes, sensation, neural tension tests) is key to detect motor or sensory deficits. Findings suggestive of significant neurological compromise or systemic pathology warrant referral. Imaging or laboratory tests are reserved for clinical suspicion of serious or specific conditions; <b>not routinely recommended<\/b> in non-specific low back or neck pain without warning signs.
