Initial Treatment - What to Expect
The initial exam takes approximately one hour. Included in the initial exam is a thorough and complete history of the patient's main complaint, secondary complaints, lifestyle, past medical history etc, a comprehensive physical exam, and a treatment.
On most occasions a patient will leave the first visit with an understanding knowledge of their complaint, a treatment plan and exercise handouts to begin the rehabilitation program. Additional services such as an x-ray or a neurological exam will depend on the patients initial complaint.
