A care plan should identify your goals, the proposed treatment and how progress will be reviewed. Confirm which services are currently available at our office, who provides them and whether a referral to a physical therapist or another clinician is appropriate.
If exercises are recommended, ask for instructions suited to your condition and current ability. Your plan should explain technique, frequency, when to stop and when to request reassessment. Bring questions about activities that matter to you at work or home.
Before hands-on treatment, discuss the examination findings, the proposed technique, potential risks and alternatives. Let your clinician know about injuries, surgery, medical conditions and medicines that may affect treatment decisions.
Heat or cold may be discussed as part of symptom management. Ask how to apply a pack safely and whether it is suitable for your health conditions. Do not use treatment sensations alone to judge whether an injury is healing.
If therapeutic ultrasound is proposed, ask why it is being considered for your diagnosis, what evidence supports its use and how its effect will be reviewed. Confirm availability and suitability with the office before scheduling.
Electrical stimulation treatments differ in their purpose and equipment. Ask which treatment is proposed, why it may fit your care plan and what precautions apply. Tell the clinician about implanted devices and relevant medical conditions.
Traction is an option to discuss after assessment, rather than a treatment selected from symptoms alone. Ask about the reason for the recommendation, alternatives, risks and how the clinician will decide whether to continue.
For information about our spinal decompression service, visit the spinal decompression page. A consultation is needed to discuss whether it is appropriate; the service description does not establish a diagnosis or predict an individual result.
Confirm the exact service and equipment with the office before scheduling. Do not assume that a water-massage service includes a pool, whirlpool or aquatic rehabilitation program. If you need aquatic physical therapy, discuss an appropriate provider with your clinician.
If interferential therapy is recommended, ask what symptom it is intended to address and how it fits with the rest of your care. Confirm precautions, expected sensations and the plan for reassessment before treatment.
Ask whether laser therapy is currently offered and suitable for the condition being assessed. A discussion should cover the proposed device, evidence for its use, precautions, cost and alternatives.
Ask which form of cold therapy is being discussed and how it should be used. A cold pack and a whole-body cryotherapy chamber are different services; confirm the actual offering and safety instructions with the office.
Bring questions about food choices, supplements and your health goals to a nutrition consultation. Tell your clinician about medicines and medical conditions. Visit our nutrition page for more information.
Discuss how work, sleep, daily activities and exercise affect your symptoms. Choose manageable goals with your clinician and review what is helping. New or worsening symptoms deserve reassessment.
Beyond Wellness Chiropractic Center serves patients in Charlotte. Learn about Dr. Kevin P. Lyons and ask how the proposed care matches your needs. Before starting, confirm the plan, costs and follow-up arrangements.
These questions can help you prepare for a conversation with our office.
Describe your symptoms and goals to the office. An assessment is needed to determine whether the services offered are appropriate or whether you need another clinician. A list of treatment options is not a diagnosis.
A care plan may include more than one approach when appropriate. Ask who provides each service, how the recommendations fit together and how your progress will be reviewed.
Call 704-461-1836 for appointment questions or use the contact page for office information. Confirm the service you need and any preparation before your visit.
