Great care starts with clarity. Here’s how to make your first visit efficient and informative—so you understand your plan and feel progress quickly.
Bring
- Photo ID, insurance card (if using), and list of meds/allergies.
- Any recent imaging or reports.
- Footwear you use most; photos of your desk or bike fit help too.
Expect
- History: Onset, aggravators, goals (workouts, sleep, commute).
- Exam: Posture, movement, ortho/neuro tests when appropriate.
- Findings in plain English: What’s likely driving your symptoms.
- Trial plan: Short series (often 2–6 visits) + home routine.
- Checkpoints: Sleep, sitting, turning, lift tolerance.
Dr. Edward Komberg: “If you don’t understand the ‘why,’ ask. A good plan survives questions.”
