THE THREE QUESTIONS

1.  WHAT IS MY DIAGNOSIS?

A thorough history and exam given to an experienced doctor* will most likely yield an accurate diagnosis.  If more information or testing is needed, then we will let you know.  We will try and answer all of these questions during your first visit.

 

Some related questions would be:

 

  • How did my injury happen?

  • Why did my injury occur?

  • What specific parts of my body are damaged (e.g. joint capsule, ligament, or muscle).

  • Why am I experiencing pain in this area?​

2.  HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? 

The actual number of sessions differs for everyone due to the following:  your condition and its severity, your age, and your ability to follow our recommendations.  Keep in mind that the total therapy cost is the cost that you pay for treatment, plus the time that you spend coming to the office (travel costs), plus the time lost from not being able to work (if applicable to you) or doing the things that you like.

 

We will try and complete your sessions as quickly as possible because we know that you want to get back to playing your sport, return to work, or return to any of things that you enjoy.  Getting you better is paramount and we will give you honest answers and provide quality and ethical solutions to both you and your whole family.

 

If you have insurance coverage, we will be happy to fill out any forms that you require in order for you (or your insurance agent) to submit your claim.  Our office does not directly submit any claims for you. 

3.  WILL MY PROBLEM OCCUR AGAIN? 


Many bone and joint problems do not get better with rest alone and some get worse or come back if left untreated.  Therefore, it is best to make an appointment to find out if your injury is serious or not.

 

Some related questions would be:

 

  • What options do I have in order to get better?

  • What will happen if I do not correct my problem now? 

  • What are the therapy options now, and later on as the problem become worse?

  • If I do nothing now, will my problem get better, worse, or stay the same?

  • Can I delay my recovery now?  What will happen if I do? 

  • Will I have any permanent damage?
