Your first visit with an ART Certified Provider will likely begin with your medical history and background, followed by questions concerning the specific problem you’re experiencing. These questions include where your condition or pain is located, what may have caused it, and what motion(s) aggravate it. From there, the provider will move to the hands-on diagnostic process and palpate the described areas to pinpoint the root problem. Don’t worry, “palpate” just means the Certified Provider uses touch to feel and diagnose the root cause of the injury or disorder.
Once the root is identified, specific ART protocols will be used to repair and restore the damaged tissue. This process may be repeated a few times depending on the number of affected areas and severity of pain.
