Frequently Asked Questions
-
Adhesion is a buildup of fibrous tissue that can develop in and around muscles and other soft tissues. It can restrict normal movement and contribute to pain, stiffness, weakness, or limited mobility.
Adhesion can be especially important in chronic pain cases because it isn't always identified during a typical examination or seen on standard imaging.
At Pivotal Point, we evaluate whether adhesion may be contributing to your symptoms and, when appropriate, use precise treatment to address it.
-
Pivotal Point focuses on complicated pain that hasn’t improved with traditional treatment.
Rather than simply treating where you hurt, we take the time to determine why the problem may be persisting. Our evaluation looks for adhesion, nerve entrapment, movement restrictions, and other factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
The goal is to identify what may have been missed and create a treatment plan specific to what we find.
-
If you have any muscle, joint, or nerve problems, then you are likely a good candidate. This is what we do best.
If other treatments have failed to provide lasting relief, then you are also likely a good fit for our care.
Our doctors are trained in ADHESION RELEASE METHODS and focus on finding and fixing adhesion, which is a difficult problem to find and even more difficult to fix.
Our type of care is unique so all potential new patients will need to start with a comprehensive consultation with the doctor to discuss your case & determine if you are in the right place.
-
The initial visit typically lasts about one hour and includes a detailed review of your history, previous imaging or medical records, and a thorough examination including neurological tests. Dr. Ben will evaluate the area causing your symptoms as well as other factors that may be contributing to the problem.
After the examination, he'll explain what he finds, provide you a precise diagnosis, discuss whether Pivotal Point is a good fit for your case, and outline a recommended treatment plan.
If you have previous imaging or relevant radiology reports, please bring them with you. No treatment is done during the initial examination.
