What to Expect from a Visit
A wellness provider should listen to your personal history with attention and objectivity, and perform the necessary exams and diagnostic tests needed to provide an accurate diagnosis of your condition. Thus, the most appropriate and effective treatment program for you can be created.

History
A wellness professional will ask many questions to get an accurate picture of the problem or concern. Questions may include:
- Previous illnesses, diseases, or conditions,
- Operations and surgical procedures

The aim is to get a comprehensive and thorough picture of the patient from a whole-person perspective, as many different factors contribute to health and well-being, or the lack of it.
Examination and evaluation
Depending on the health concern, tests may be required to make a better determination and diagnosis. A patient’s joint and muscle functions may be assessed with neurological and orthopedic tests. Or, x-ray diagnosis, MRI scans, bone scans, ultrasound imaging, or Electronic Meridian Imaging (EMI) may be used. The latter helps to determine if the condition is musculoskeletal, biomechanical, bone-related, nerve-related, or is a result of energy imbalances.
