Before You Arrive
A few simple things can help your first appointment start smoothly.
Wear comfortable clothing
Choose clothes that allow you to move freely during your treatment.
Arrive 10 - 15 minutes early
This gives us time to get you checked in and handle any first-visit paperwork.
Plan for about 60 minutes
Your first visit includes time to talk through your history, assess movement, and discuss next steps.
Bring your questions
We want you to leave with as many answers as we can give you, so bring anything you'd like to ask about your care.
Still Have Questions Before Your First Visit?
We want you to feel prepared before you walk in. If you're unsure what to bring, what to wear, or what to expect, give us a call and we'll help.
What to Bring
A large part of what we treat falls within orthopedic care. That includes the everyday aches, pains, and movement limitations that make work, exercise, hobbies, and day-to-day life more difficult than they should be. Our approach, which may incorporate Muscle Activation Techniques when appropriate, looks beyond the symptom to better understand what is contributing to the problem.
Back Pain
TMJ Issues
Forearm & Wrist Pain
Hip Pain
Neck Pain
Headaches Related To Movement
Elbow pain
Knee Pain
Shoulder Pain
Foot & Ankle Pain
Hand Pain
Certain Cases of Neuropathy
Our goal is not just to calm symptoms down, but to better understand what is contributing to the problem and help restore stronger, more confident movement.
Insurance, Cash Pay, and Payment Questions
We accept insurance and cash. Depending on your plan, paying out of pocket can sometimes be more affordable than going through insurance — especially if you have a high deductible. We’re happy to walk through what makes sense for your situation before your first visit.

Some patients come to us after surgery. Others are recovering from an injury, trying to return to sport, or simply wanting to move with more strength and stability again. Treatment is built around where you are now and where you want to go next.
