What to expect
Your medical history review will include a chat about your current health concerns, current medical treatment with other practitioners, previous medical care, family health history, and social habbits (i.e. diet, exercise, job). This is a good place to start identifying the root source of problems/health issues.
The Physical Examination will incorporate any appropriate combination of Diagnostics, Orthopedic Testing, Neurological Examination, and a Nuermuscular Examination. Patients will be asked to change into a gown and/or shorts in order to best visualize, examine, and treat tissues. After the exam, Dr. Holton will determine if further testing, Referrals to other Health Care Professionals, or Diagnostic Imaging (i.e. X-rays or MRIs) are necessary.
Treatment may incorporate a variety of techniques, depending on the needs of the patient and specific condition(s). Please see the "Services" tab for more details.
Dr. Holton loves to give out homework, such as stretches and exercises. She believes this allows the patient to heal and teach him/herself how to aid in his/her future health, while allowing minimal treatments. Individualized Stretches, Occupational training, Strength/balance Exercises, Sports training, Self Massage, and/or Neuromuscular Re-education is taught to patients.
