Examination Process
During your initial consultation, our healthcare providers will conduct a detailed physical examination to gather essential information, including:
Reviewing Medical History
Understanding your medical history provides insights into pre-existing conditions, previous injuries, and overall health status that may impact your current symptoms.
Assessment of Injury Mechanism
Evaluating how the injury occurred helps in understanding the nature and extent of trauma to the musculoskeletal system.
Examination of Joints, Muscles, and Bone
Our providers will assess the affected areas for signs of swelling, tenderness, range of motion limitations, and any visible deformities.
Neurological Examination
Testing reflexes, sensation (numbness, tingling, loss of sensation), and muscle strength helps identify nerve involvement and neurological deficits.
Diagnostic Imaging Options
For certain conditions, diagnostic imaging such as X-rays and MRI scans may be necessary.
X-Rays
X-rays provide detailed images of bones and detecting fractures, or other skeletal abnormalities. Making it useful for assessing structural integrity and identifying conditions that affect bone density or alignment.
