We always start with a consultation to understand where you are at and how you got there; your personal challenges and the mechanisms that are interfering with your return to health; and what your priorities are.The consultation directs Dr. Katie to an appropriate physical examination and functional testing to help identify areas of biomechanical and neurological involvement that may be contributing to your symptoms that contribute to or cause your mobility, pain and other musculoskeletal health issues.During the history, the chiropractor will discuss your symptoms to help guide the diagnostic process.
