Your First Visit with Dr. Christian
At your initial consultation… Dr. Christian will take a subjective history to get to know you. He will begin with a series of question that will give him insight into your story. He will gather information about your medical history, functional history, family medical history, current medication regimen, lifestyle choices and prior interventions and whether or not they were successful. He will then conduct a physical exam and may order diagnostic testing or lab values if indicated. After he has gleaned a comprehensive overview of your health and potential diagnosis, he will provide recommendations and suggestions for your personalized treatment plan. Together, you will decide on a treatment plan that best meets your health needs and moves you closer to achieving your goals. Most patients require a minimum of 3 visit for best results. Dr. Christian focuses on optimizing healing, function and preventing re-injury and chronic pain development.
