This 45-60 minute appointment is designed for patients seeking treatment for a specific orthopedic concern such as pain, injury, or restricted movement. Unlike a full new patient visit, this session focuses specifically on the area of concern rather than a comprehensive health history. We’ll review your symptoms, assess the affected area, and begin treatment based on your presentation.
