Initial Consultation
A detailed history will be conducted in order to collect information on your chief complaint, health history, family health history, and overall health. This will be followed by a focused physical examination to determine a working diagnosis. We may examine more than just the area of complaint in order to obtain a better understanding of your condition, as well as any underlying concerns that may be contributing to your problem. A diagnosis and appropriate recommendations for treatment will also be given.
Depending on your situation, we may recommend that you seek diagnostic imaging (such as x-rays) before beginning treatment. If this is necessary, you will be referred in order to obtain the imaging of choice in a timely manner.
Subsequent Treatments
During the subsequent visits, treatment protocols will be implemented as outlined during your initial consultation. In addition, your progress will be monitored and any necessary changes will be made to your treatment plan based on your response to the therapies used. These treatments will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Additional time may be necessary for more extensive cases, and will be discussed with you in advance.
