Frequently Asked Questions

For over the phone consults or email inquiries

 We live in a world controlled by technology and people want their information faster.  Email and social media play a big role in how we communicate and the technology can help us to work more efficiently.  That being said, when it comes to diagnosing a particular problem with your body’s engine or chassis, you need a mechanic to look under the hood.  This means you most likely cannot detect what the problem is just by feeling pain or listening to noises the body is making(cracking in the joints).  A physician must evaluate your condition to accurately assess the damage or mechanical problems.  Often times a quick and efficient way to get a consult is to email us a brief history of your problem, including pertinent past medical history and current complaints.  Once we receive that, our physicians can review it and have a better understanding of your problem when they contact you via phone to answer any specific questions.  It is important to note again, that ultimately we need to evaluate the condition to know for sure what the problems are and how best to go about managing your condition.

What are your Office Hours?

Currently our office sees patients on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  We schedule patients from 7am to 6 pm on Monday and Wed, and from 7 am to 4 pm on Fri.  Office hours are by appointment.  We do our best to accommodate patients in acute pain and see them same day if possible. 

 What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

 Our office requires a 24 hour notice for all cancellations and rescheduled appointments.  This allows us to better accommodate our other patiets.

 Do I need a referral?

Most patients do not need a referral to see us.  Occasionally some patients may require a referral from their primary care physician if we need to order any diagnostic imaging.

 Do you take my insurance?

 We do accept some insurance.  Many of our patients come to us out of network.  If you want to have your insurance coverage verified, you can email us with your name, date of birth, insurance company name, group or policy number and we will do our best to verify what the benefits are.  We do accept (HSA) Health Savings Accounts.

 What are your fees for patients without insurance?

Our initial visit is normally $ 60.00 and follow up visits are between $ 40 and $ 60 per treatment.  We accept check, bank card, Visa, Mastercard.  We can bill your insurance company so that fees can be applied towards your deductable.

 How long is initial visit?

 Initial visits usually range from 30 minutes up to one hour, depending on the complexity of the history and number of conditions we evaluate.

 How long are follow up visits?

 Follow up visits typically run between 15-30 minutes per treatment.

 What forms do I need to bring with me on my first visit?

 You can download our New Patient Intake Forms on the homepage.  If you have any lab work or imaging reports(X-Ray, CT, MRI etc.) that are relevant to your condition, we ask that you bring them with you.

 I have X-Rays/MRI’s.  Do I need to bring them?

 Yes.  We prefer to have the actual films(they can be on CD or actual film).  If you cannot obtain films before your initial visit, we ask that you provide copies of the radiology reports.  Most Imaging centers will fax reports directly to us at your request.

 I had imaging done but I don’t have my films.  How do I get them?

 You can call the imaging center where you had the study done, provide them with your information and request the films.  They can provide you with a CD of the studies they did, along with reports.

 Do I need ART or manipulation? 

 Most  conditions involve injuries to soft tissues.  These soft tissues often have adhesions which can reduce range of motion, cause pain, muscle imbalance and faulty movement.  As such, we know the best treatment outcomes usually require a combination of soft tissue work, manipulation or manual therapy, and corrective exercise to rehabilitate the injured area and help prevent re-injury.

 Is my condition something you typically treat and do you think you can help?

 Our focus is physical sports medicine.  We treat a wide variety of muscle and joint pain syndromes.  We treat many conditions involving the extremities and spine, including complex spinal disorders.   For a list of commonly treated conditions, see our brochure on the homepage.

 I have been diagnosed with arthritis, can you help me?

 There are different types of arthritis and many benefit from conservative care.  For people with garden variety wear and tear degenerative arthritis, often one of the best treatments is exercise.  What we attempt to do is to diagnose faulty movement due to muscle imbalance and poor joint motion.  We correct these as best as possible to give you better range of motion and better movement so that you can better tolerate exercise and daily activity.  Motion is lotion for the joints.

 It looks like you treat many athletes.  I am not an athlete.  Can you still help me?

 True, many of our patients are athletes.  However, athletes and weekend warriors share a common bond, SOFT TISSUE INJURIES.  These soft tissue injuries can prevent normal movement and cause pain.  Many of the same injuries we see in athletes occur in non-athletes as well.  The difference is usually how the injury occurred, but once you have the injury, often times the treatment is the same. 

 We focus intensely on functional rehab for all our patients, and athletes often receive special focused attention relative to their sport.  Regardless of your sport, functional rehab will be a part of your treatment and will help you to move better, stabilize your spine and posture, and leave you tolerating a higher level of activity.
