NEW PATIENT: WHAT TO EXPECT

The conditions which the Myrtle Beach Spine Center, PA address are as varied and as vast as the nervous system itself. We use a standard procedure of examination to diagnose a new patient’s condition and arrive at a course of treatment. The Doctors attempt to find the cause of a health problem rather than simply treat the symptoms. We seek to maximize the natural strengths of the body and its capacity to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. Some examples of conditions seen in our office are: headaches, neck pain, back pain, scoliosis, work/auto/sports injuries, numbness, tingling, and repetitive stress injuries.

The doctor will review your health history and determine if your problem can be helped. If further testing or a referral is needed, we will recommend one for you. Your reflexes may be tested and your ability to turn and bend will be measured. Many other standard orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic tests may be performed. If necessary, X-ray views may be taken to help understand your problem.

Your doctor will study the results of these examinations and explain what they mean. If other outside examinations have previously been performed, please bring them with you, so that we can explain them to you as well. Then the doctor will recommend a care program designed for your unique health problem. Periodic examinations will monitor your progress.

In our office, we can offer a complimentary consultation to determine if we can help you. A consultation may be complimentary IF you bring a recent MRI, X-ray, and medical records from another office that can be reviewed by the Doctor (must not be older than 6 months). Once the Doctor has reviewed them with you, all of our fees will be discussed before starting treatment.
