What to expect at your evaluation

Your initial evaluation is comprehensive by design. Most first appointments last between 60 and 90 minutes. Here is what that time will look like:

1. Medical history review
We will begin by reviewing your medical background, the details of your injury, your current symptoms, and any previous treatment. This conversation is comprehensive and intentional. A clear understanding of your history allows for a more precise evaluation.

2. physical examination
You will undergo a detailed physical exam assessing your musculoskeletal function,
neurological status, range of motion, strength, reflexes, and pain patterns. If you have relevant imaging, it will be reviewed at this stage as well.

3. diagnosis and discussion
We will explain our findings clearly, including what we observed, what it means, and what to expect moving forward. We believe informed patients make better decisions about their care, and we encourage your questions.

4. Individualized treatment plan
Based on your evaluation, we will develop a personalized and holistic treatment plan. This may include interventional procedures, therapy referrals, medication management, or ongoing monitoring, often in combination. Your plan will be adjusted as your recovery progresses.
