Upon entering the office, we have some brief paperwork for you
to fill out. The paperwork provides us with general information
about yourself and your condition.
Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a
consultation with the doctor to discuss your health-related
problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options.
In order to determine what your actual problem is, the doctor
will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next,
a number of specialized tests will be performed to determine
which tissues are affected and to what extent.
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either
rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the
most effective treatment plan for you. If the doctor
decides you need x-rays, we will schedule them to be taken in
our office.
Once finished with the examination and all appropriate studies,
patients will be treated
during this same visit.
As the treatment progresses
patients will be given instructions on certain
activities or procedures to be conducted at home. This may
include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of
certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises
and/or stretches.
You will be given a convenient appointment time for your
follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen within
1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of findings.
Treatment options for your condition will also be discussed
during this time. |
