INFORMATION FOR PHYSICIANS & OTHER PROVIDERS

The purpose of JointFit Chiropractic & Sports Medicine Center is to provide a premier portal of entry health care facility specializing in the diagnosis and care musculoskeletal pathologies. We believe that all healthcare providers simply "must know what we need to know, before we need to know it."

For this to be possible, complete competency in recognizing general medical conditions masquerading as somatic complaints as well true complex joint and muscle problems is of utmost importance. Furthermore, open communication with other physicians and specialty providers is critical to ensure that effective patient-centered care is delivered promptly and efficiently.

The solution for meeting the highest standard of care is simple: obtain the broadest range of experience and highest level of training and education available and continue learning everyday. As a DACBSP®, Dr Foveaux has achieved the highest distinction level of specialty board recognition available in chiropractic. What further sets our clinic apart from others in our field is that we have separated ourselves from outdated dogma that has plagued our profession and we allow new knowledge and evidence to change the way we treat patients for the better.

We believe a multi-disciplinary approach is effective because of the difficulty associated with complete knowledge of all conditions, treatments, and literature. Therefore, the sum of specialized expertise from members of an integrated team of dedicated professionals is greater than that of a single provider or profession. In an environment of mutual respect and highest regard for the athlete or patient, this type of approach has no other possibility other than to enhance patient care and improve outcomes.

JointFit is a reliable clinic for referrals of patient with spine, joint, and repetitive use injuries. Patients referred to JointFit from another professional office are seen with 24 hours with complete notes faxed to the referring provider after evaluation or treatment.

Our initial examination includes physical examination, neurologic testing, special orthopedic testing, joint motion/ muscle strength testing, and functional movement pattern testing. Providers can be assured that patients evaluated at JointFit will not even be treated if it is believe that the condition will not respond favorably to multi-modal care consisting of manual therapy, specialized soft-tissue therapy, therapeutic modalities, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education and possibly taping/bracing.

No patient at JointFit is offered pre-paid treatment "packages" like other chiropractic clinics. Patients are given a general estimate on length of recovery, but individual treatment plans are based upon functional outcomes assessments and individual progress. Since JointFit opened in 2009, no treatment plan has last longer than 6 weeks. Typically, patients are treated and successfully released from care much sooner than that. Active care is heavily promoted as well as spine and joint sparing modifications to safely perform activities of daily living. This helps us achieve favorable long term outcomes.
