Your First Visit

Whether you are a candidate for Spinegroup Xpress™ or one of our Interdisciplinary Programs, you will be initially assessed and/or triaged by our clinical director and nurse case manager. This ensures that your condition is properly diagnosed and that the most effective treatment is recommended.

When being assessed for the first time, the clinical director will take a compre-hensive history and physical examination, including vitals, neurological and orthopaedic tests. If required, you may be referred for an X-ray, CT, MRI or
blood tests for further evaluations. After evaluating your case, the doctor will discuss your diagnosis and present a specific treatment plan with target
goals for you. If applicable, an affordable payment schedule will also be presented at that time. Senior discounts may be available.

If your condition is beyond the scope of our clinic, you will be referred to the most appropriate specialist for management or co-management.

The initial assessment is conducted once in the course of your care. If required, follow-up evaluations are performed periodically throughout your treatment plan. For complex cases, a nurse manager will follow your case to ensure continuity of care between our clinical team. It is recom-mended that you bring any recent blood lab reports, MRI, CT and/or x-rays for review on your first visit or during the early course of your care.
