The Visit
Upon entering our office, you will be greeted by our professional
and friendly staff. You will be asked to fill out initial
paperwork and a questionnaire. For your added convenience,
the initial paperwork is also found here on the website.You
can print it and fill it out at home. That
way, you can take your time describing your specific health
issues. You will then have a consultation and
exam with Dr. Spanier.
If at any time during your exam
or treatment, if other tests
such as an MRI, or CT scan are needed, or a consultation with
another specialist is needed, we can provide you with a referral
to quality professionals. We encourage a Co- Management approach
through communication with your primary care provider. Our
central focus is to provide you with the best possible level
of care.
After the examination, Dr. Spanier will
explain the nature of your condition, and his recommendations
for recovery. Your
treatment will begin immediately. Many people come to
my office for Specialized Care.
- Pain Relief - Getting
your body to feel better as soon as possible. That is how
you will know my care is working.
- Stabilization
- once pain is decreased
or gone, I’ll help you stabilize by working on
your flexibility. Also by strengthening your weak muscles
and ligaments. Then by re-modeling old scar tissue.
(Vital part of healing. This phase can take 1-6 months,
or more, depending on the chronicity of your problem.)
- Prevention
- This
comes with a change in lifestyle (listed
on my website).
This is where I slowly show you healthy practices you need
to incorporate in your life. A healthy body needs no drugs
or surgery.
