Step 1: Physical Exam

Our physical therapists will perform a detailed exam that includes an assessment of your mobility to see your range of motion and flexibility your joints have. They will also look for any signs of inflammation and pinpoint specific areas that trigger discomfort when they are moved around or poked at.

Step 2: Physical Exam

Testing can give insight into why you are experiencing the pain that you are. Whether we refer you out or perform the test in house it will help determine what the best course of treatment may be.

X-rays: Which will show arthritis, dislocations or fractures.
Ultrasound: Used to observe muscle and joint movement for a more accurate diagnosis.
MRIs: For a better look at the soft tissue in the knee such as the tendons, ligaments or your meniscus.

Step 3: Consultation
