Fort Pierce South, FL

Comprehensive Evaluation and Treatment Planning

During your initial evaluation, you can expect a detailed explanation, and plan of care to help you address your areas of concern. This thorough assessment process begins with understanding your health history, current symptoms, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to your condition. We utilize advanced diagnostic techniques, including postural analysis and range of motion testing, to identify the root causes of your discomfort rather than simply treating symptoms.

Our evaluation process typically involves examining your spine’s alignment, checking for areas of restriction or inflammation, and assessing how your musculoskeletal system functions as a whole. We pay particular attention to how daily activities, work responsibilities, and recreational pursuits in the Fort Pierce South area might impact your spinal health. For instance, many local residents enjoy boating and fishing, activities that can strain the lower back and shoulders when performed repeatedly without proper body mechanics.
