FIRST visit

Initial assessment and treatment (60 minutes)

Your Manual Osteopathic practitioner will review your medical history and obtain consent to treat. A visual assessment, palpation, and range of motion testing will be performed in order to gain an understanding of what is causing the dysfunction in your body.

 

Neurokinetic therapy (NKT), an innovative manual muscle testing technique may also be used to trace muscular compensation patterns throughout the body. This advanced assessment tool will help identify which structures are dysfunctional and help to pinpoint the root cause of the pain.

 

Treatment will be gentle and effective and may be more general in application in order to monitor the patient's response to treatment. Subsequent treatments will become more specific as necessary.

Follow Up VISIT

Reassessment / Treatment (60, 45, 30 minutes)
