What Should You Expect From An Evaluation?

Medical History

The first step in the evaluation is a thorough medical history. You’ll first be asked some basic questions about your medical history and lifestyle.

Physical Examination

A complete physical examination includes inspection and assessment of your range of motion. Your doctor will look for physical abnormalities, swelling, deformity, or muscle weakness, and check for tender areas.

Tests

Specific tests may be ordered to help identify the cause of your pain and any other problems.

X-rays
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound
Computed tomography (CT) scan
Electrical studies. Your doctor may order a test, such as an EMG (electromyogram), to evaluate nerve function

Treatment Options

After your evaluation and imaging tests, your doctor will talk with you about your diagnosis and explain what treatments are available. Together, you’ll decide on a personalized treatment plan based on your diagnosis, activity level, goals, and preferences.

Dr. Litchfield and Dr. Bruce will offer nonsurgical treatment options for the appropriate patient when indicated. Non-surgical treatment is always the first goal. Our doctors take their time with each patient to understand their concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan through a shared decision-making process.
