Orthopedic Evaluation Procedures

What are standard evaluation procedures?

Before a treatment or rehabilitation protocol can be established, we must first determine the reason for and source of your condition. This typically involves a comprehensive physical examination and a detailed medical history profile, in addition to a complete history and description of the symptoms related to your condition. During this initial gathering of information, be sure to notify us of any other illnesses, injuries, or complaints that have been associated with the pain or condition, as well as any previous treatments or medications prescribed.
