What to expect at your first visit

Assess, don't guess.

We'll start with a thorough conversation about your current concerns, health history, and personal goals. Whether you're looking to get out of pain, return to sport, or just move better throughout the day, we'll take the time to understand what matters most to you.

Next, we'll move on to our comprehensive physical examination that may include

• Movement Screening - observing how you move through functional patterns as well as during meaningful movements to identify potential areas of limitation or compensation.

• Orthopedic testing - isolating specific joints and soft tissues to test tissue integrity and identify areas of sensitivity.

• Neurological screening - testing of spinal nerve root integrity and peripheral nerve function.

• Joint palpation - hands-on evaluation of spinal and extremity joints to determine areas of restriction and hypermobility.

• Soft tissue evaluation - identifying muscle tension and trigger points potentially contributing pain and/or movement dysfunction.

Your first visit is all about understanding you. This one-on-one, in-depth session is designed to identify the underlying cause of your pain or dysfunction and give you the proper tools to manage them.

If appropriate, treatment is often provided on the first visit to initiate our trial of care and ensure we are targeting the correct area with our treatment interventions. This includes a potential combination of passive and active interventions to manage symptoms and improve function.

• Passive care - treatments including chiropractic adjustments, manual trigger point therapy, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, cupping, taping, and more.

• Active care - specific movements or exercise derived from our physical exam to desensitize tissue, improve its functional capacity, and help you move better.

Our biggest mission during the initial exam is to ensure everyone understands what is going on and causing the current symptoms. We also want to build a plan together for how we are going to manage symptoms and accomplish goals.

Are you a good fit?

We work with individuals who are driven to achieve their goals and embrace an active life, even when pain feels like a significant barrier. Perhaps you've tried standard approaches without lasting relief, or you know you need more than basic care to get back to the activities you love. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or someone aspiring to move more comfortably, if you have the inner motivation to improve and are seeking a comprehensive path beyond traditional methods, we're here to help you unlock your potential.
