• Initial Consultation: In order to be able to treat a problem, we must first be able to diagnose it; the initial consultation is to assess your areas of concern and needs and to create a treatment plan to address the limitations found. If your injury is of a traumatic nature and you have an ACC claim already filed for it, we will use that claim, and if not, we will file a claim for you*
