The first visit

A clear four-step process

1
Conversation: symptoms, history, concerns, previous care, and what you need to return to.
2
Evaluation: relevant movement, orthopedic, neurologic, and functional testing.
3
Explanation: findings, appropriate options, alternatives, and reasons for referral when necessary.
4
Plan: agreed goals, expected milestones, home guidance, and a point for formal reassessment.

Practical details

Before booking

Is treatment guaranteed on the first visit?

No. Evaluation comes first, and same-day care depends on the findings and whether treatment is appropriate.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothing that allows the area and relevant movements to be evaluated.

Do I need imaging?

Not automatically. Imaging is considered when the history and examination suggest it may change care.

What if I was in an auto accident?

Tell the office the crash date and bring available claim information and medical records. Florida PIP rules generally include a 14-day initial-treatment requirement; contact your insurer or attorney for advice about your situation.
