My First Visit
Dr. Hooper will start by asking you a number of questions to gather clinically relevant information. He will perform some tests which vary depending what you are struggling with. Tests may include assessing the movement of your joints, palpation (or feeling) for muscle tenderness or tightness, neurological testing (strength, reflexes, and sensation), as well as orthopaedic tests of your joints.
