What to expect at consultation
A first visit typically includes discussion of symptom onset and pattern, examination, and basic movement assessment. Prior imaging or further tests may be reviewed when needed. A specialist may propose an individual conservative rehabilitation plan without promising a specific outcome. Recommendations may change during follow-up.
Assessment approach
The specialist takes history, performs examination, and orders further tests when needed. Recommendations are individual and do not replace emergency care for red flags.
