It sucks to be in pain. It sucks not to be able to workout, play a sport, or do something at work without pain.
What's worse than that? Calling your PCP and waiting 1-2 weeks before you can get an appointment only to be told to go see a specialist and wait even longer to be able to see them. Then you see them and then you have to wait to get imaging then go back for a follow-up, then they decide you should do rehab.
At this point, it's already been 2-4 weeks and your injury has gotten worse or maybe, slightly better. And you've already spent too much time taking off work or school to go to multiple appointments without any resolve. Frustrating, right?
This is EXACTLY where we come in.
Imagine hurting you back, knee, shoulder, or ankle. You get hurt and want to get a diagnosis of what's wrong and what to do next to help it. Do you need imaging? Do you need rehab? Do you need surgery? You have a ton of questions, but all can easily be answered in an appointment with us.
You see, the reason we became Sports Chiropractors is because of the incredible scope of practice we have. We Doctors of Chiropractic and have physician status in almost every single state. We aren't your "primary care", however, we do have the right and scope of practice to be seen without any referrals and can REFER you to where it's medically necessary.
How does that benefit you? Well, understand what we can do first.
We can refer you for an X-ray, MRI, CT scan, diagnostic ultrasound, blood work, specialist, etc. What this means is we can give you the script to go get these images done or we are your referral to your specialist (if needed).
But, the best part is, if we don't feel you need a referral for imaging or a specialist, guess what??? We get straight to treatment!!
We cut out the middle-man and get straight to helping relieve your pain and get your rehab started.
We answer to the best of our abilities all your questions regarding your diagnosis, your treatment plan, and how things look moving forward.
We aren't the people who are going to tell you to rest, ice, and take some medical Skittles (ibuprofen/NSAIDs)
WE'RE the Docs who are going to get you to where you want to be using our world-class equipment and technology combined with our quality sports rehab.
One of the most common things we hear after patients invest their time and effort with us is "man, I wish I started with you guys earlier", "I wish I came to you guys first", and "I'm glad I didn't have to waste my time seeing X, Y, and Z."
