First Visit

Brief Paperwork
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.

Consultation
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.

History & Examination
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 the exact diagnosis of your condition.

Applied Kinesiology Exam
A series of muscle strength tests are utilized to aid in the diagnosis, determine the extent of the condition, and the best approach for treatment. A person basically has to hold a muscle contraction against resistance in defferent positions. Further kinesiology testing may also be warranted to uncover underlying causes.

Home Instructions
