Assessments

To help me to help you begins with the paper work.  There is important information about you that is needed before I can begin care.  I tried to make it convenient by having the forms online that you can print and fill out in the comfort and leisure of your home. If there is something you don’t understand leave it blank and I will review it with you on your visit.

Upon your arrival is when we will assess to find the problem(s) and more importantly the solution. Your paper work, your history and your examination are all part of the puzzle to finding the problem and then the solution. I work with you as if you were my family only providing the best in care.  Be assured I will not proceed with any examination or treatment without first having your confidence and agreement.

X-rays, though harmful to the body yet helpful for gathering information, I do not find the need to routinely take them as in most offices.  If your history or examination indicates more information is needed before care can begin I will let you know.  I do not do these in my office but refer you locally with facilities I have an established working relationship.

When all the information is gathered then I can tell you exactly:

1. If and how I can help you?
2. How long it’s going to take to correct the problem?
3. The financial investment of your care?

If I am unable to be of help to you with your entire problem I will let you know where to turn for help with those areas out of my expertise.

You will have an organized easy to follow plan of attack to take care of your immediate problem, to keep the problem from returning, and to help your overall health.  You will be given instruction on do’s and don’ts that may be contributing to your problem, specific stretches and strengthening exercises, as well as correct application of ice, best sleeping and sitting posture to keep your spine, joints and muscles in the best condition to manage your lifestyle.
