Su
Primera visita.
Su
Primera visita.
La primera visita comienza con una conversación para asegurar que se comprendan sus antecedentes médicos y el comportamiento de sus síntomas. Luego, se realiza un examen completo para identificar su postura, movimientos y otros factores que contribuyen a su dolor o limitaciones. Estos hallazgos ayudan a su fisioterapeuta a asegurarse de que usted es el candidato adecuado para la fisioterapia o si también puede beneficiarse de una consulta de una disciplina diferente, como la quiropráctica o la acupuntura.
Luego, su fisioterapeuta le brindará un tratamiento que puede incluir o no un tratamiento práctico o una explicación de su programa de ejercicios en el hogar, o ambos. Al final de su visita, usted y su fisioterapeuta acordarán un plan y la frecuencia de las visitas futuras.
