Firstly, it\u2019s essential to understand what a diagnosis is. Essentially, it\u2019s a process by which a medical professional identifies the cause or nature of a disease, disorder, or other medical condition. This process typically involves collecting information about a patient&#8217;s symptoms, medical history, and physical examination results. Additional imaging may or may not be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Physiotherapy aims to find a diagnosis but also to help you optimize your health and fitness. While a diagnosis plays an essential role in this process, it\u2019s not the only focus of a physiotherapy visit. A diagnosis may help our experts to better understand your symptoms, but ultimately, our goal is finding solutions to your concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do that effectively, our physiotherapist will start with a comprehensive physical examination and health history, including learning about the diagnoses you\u2019ve received. In addition, we\u2019ll collaborate with physicians to confirm or explore potential contradictions to a diagnosis, ensuring the accuracy of your diagnosis and the appropriateness of your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can trust the team at Evidence Sport and Spine to consider any conditions you\u2019ve been diagnosed with, alongside other key factors, when they develop your customized treatment plan. We\u2019re committed to examining your specific circumstances as we work through your physiotherapy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faq_category":[62],"class_list":["post-217101","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq_category-physiotherapy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Can my physiotherapist diagnose me? - Evidence Sport and Spine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/momentumhealth.ca\/evidence-sport-and-spinal\/faq\/can-my-physiotherapist-diagnose-me\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Can my physiotherapist diagnose me? - Evidence Sport and Spine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Yes!
