Our goal is to get you out of pain and keep you that way. That is our bottom line. When our doctors do an initial evaluation, we will have a good idea if your condition is something we can fix or not. If we can fix it, we will explain to you what the problem is, how it will be fixed and about how long it will take. If it is something that we cannot fix, we will explain that too, and we will work with you to get you to someone who can help whether that is an orthopedist, pain management specialist, physical therapist or other provider. Once we get you out of pain, we will work with you to help keep you that way and prevent rein-jury. Our job is to fix the injury and release you. We do not want to see you back in our office repeatedly or for a long term plan.

Pain is usually easier to fix when it is acute or has been ongoing for a short period of time (less than 6 months generally). Injuries like recent shoulder strains, knee pain and ankle sprains can be resolved in a few visits. Often times patients are 90% improved after one visit. The sooner we start the rehab process, the faster the patient is back to full recovery.

In many cases, pain from some injuries will linger for months and years. Pain that has been ongoing for more than 6 months is considered chronic and usually takes a little longer to resolve and will involve more patient involvement. Things like recurrent headaches and back pain from poor posture, not only require treatment but the patient will have to correct poor movement patterns and rebuild strength. We can not only help eliminate the chronic pain, but help you restore the proper mobility and stability to prevent the pain from returning.
