The initial assessment is generally close to an hour long. We will do a detailed history, discussing any symptoms you are having and have had in the past as well as any other important aspects of your medical history.
Your physical examination will involve taking your blood pressure, reflexes (and any other neurological assessment that we feel is necessary), assessing your posture, how you walk and how you move. We will also do a series of orthopedic tests that will give us more insight into what’s going on.
We will then discuss with you what we’ve found and what treatment techniques we feel are appropriate for you. We will discuss the risks and benefits of your specific care and answer any questions you have.
Then we will proceed with a treatment or refer you to the appropriate practitioner for your needs if necessary.
