“The assessment component of your visit provides the foundation for success as it dictates the treatment plan and rehabilitation inputs.”
Health history
During your initial visit, Dr. Keenan will conduct a thorough health history detailing the nature of your condition. The health history allows Dr. Keenan the opportunity to get to know you while providing key information that will help guide treatment.
diagnosis of injury
Whether you’re suffering from pain due to joint, nerve, muscle, or ligament injury, Dr. Keenan will determine your specific diagnosis using precise and evidence-based techniques. Once a diagnosis has been made, Dr. Keenan will be able to provide you with solutions for lasting results.
functional mobility assessment
Musculoskeletal injuries occur when the demands of a physical activity exceed the capacity of your soft tissue or joints. Whether or not you are in pain, assessing mobility is essential to identifying areas that may be at higher risk for injury or hindering performance. Once these areas have been identified, Dr. Keenan will provide you with tailor-made strategies to prevent injury and improve performance.
x-Ray requisition
After an assessment has been conducted, sometimes further investigation is required to gain more information. For instance, if you've sustained a traumatic shoulder injury, it may be useful to rule out a bone fracture or joint dislocation. Dr. Keenan can provide you with an x-ray requisition, allowing you to directly visit an imaging facility without referral from your family physician. This eliminates wait times and greatly improves efficiency.
During each follow-up visit, Dr. Keenan will perform a re-assessment in order to track progress and fine tune your treatment plan.
