Time spent in assessment will save time in treatment... –Vladimir Janda
FUNCTIONAL EVALUATIONS
The ultimate goal that we have for each patient is a higher level of function and improved performance. For some this may simply mean to walk up the stairs without pain and for others it may mean shaving a tenth of a second off of their 40 yard dash time. The only way to know if our treatments and therapies are moving you closer towards that improved level of function is to constantly screen, assess, and test everyone! Our evaluations will differ depending on the presenting complaint of the patient but can include a detailed history, functional movement testing, orthopedic/neurologic testing, nutritional testing, blood work, x-rays and more. We will also be happy to make a referral to another specialist when necessary…These functional evaluations are used as a marker of progress and ensures that we are successfully moving in the direction of your goals.
