Diagnosing the cause of your medical problem or pain is our first concern. A thorough history and examination may include x-rays, muscle and organ function studies, orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic evaluations and blood work as well as other laboratory studies needed to make the correct diagnosis and determine the proper treatment recommendations.
The following diagnostics are offered by Lakewood Family Medicine and Chiropractic:
- Comprehensive physical examinations
- Muscle and joint testing
- Any necessary blood tests such as liver, kidney, heart, cholesterol and hormone tests
- Orthopedic and Chiropractic spinal evaluations
- In house x-rays services
- Allergy and nutritional testing
If, after your evaluation, it is determined that Dr. Young can effectively treat your condition, you will be accepted as a patient. If Dr. Young is not able to help you or if you need the services of another specialist, Dr. Young can provide you with the appropriate referral. It is our policy to only accept those patients that we truly believe that we can help.
If you are accepted for care, Dr. Young will explain your condition and the prescribed approach to your recovery. |
