At a typical visit, you can expect:

  • A conversation about how and when the injury happened, and how it has been affecting daily activity or sport
  • A hands-on evaluation from a provider familiar with active bodies and the demands they place on joints and muscles

If a case calls for the involvement of an orthopaedic surgeon on our team, that conversation happens as part of the same practice, not a separate referral into the unknown.
