1. Interview: The DO will talk with you about your medical history. In addition, you will be asked about such factors as your home, work, and family life.
2. Exam: Your DO will do a complete physical exam. If necessary, tests will be ordered. The physician will do a structural exam, which starts by checking your posture, spine, and balance. The DO will then use fingers to feel your back, hands, and feet. Also, the physician will check your joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
3. Diagnosis: The DO will consider the results of the interview and exam and will tell you what may be causing your symptoms.
4. Treatment: The DO will suggest a treatment plan. This may include such options as drugs and surgery. It may also include OMT. Depending on how severe your problem is, you may need more than one OMT session.
