What should I expect during general orthopedic appointments?

To determine if you need treatment, the Advanced Health experts discuss your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle habits. They also complete a comprehensive physical exam and may suggest you undergo blood testing, X-rays, an MRI, a CT scan, nerve testing, or other diagnostic tests to make an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective treatment.

After receiving conservative or surgical treatment for a joint, muscle, bone, tendon, ligament, or cartilage injury, follow up with the Advanced Health experts as often as needed to ensure your treatment works as designed. 

It’s also important to eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and avoid repetitive strain (overuse). Avoid heavy lifting, use good posture, and warm up and stretch properly before training.
