Noninvasive procedures and treatments do not require penetration of the skin or body cavities, and are therefore much less stressful to the body than invasive procedures such as surgery. Noninvasive procedures and treatments also help avoid lengthy healing and rehabilitation processes, which often can be more painful than the original problem.

Noninvasive procedures are used in health diagnoses and treatment everyday. These physical examinations include:

• Taking a pulse or blood pressure
• Listening to the heart and lungs with a stethoscope
• Measuring body temperature with a thermometer
• Using x-ray, MRI, or CT Scan to look at bones and internal structures
• Evaluating oral health through dental examinations
• Providing  chiropractic adjustments
  

Noninvasive procedures are the standard in healthcare. They are the most cost-efficient, patient-friendly manner in which to deal with health challenges.
