Diagnostic Exam | Radius Physical + Sports Rehab

Start your recovery with confidence. At Radius in Nevada City, our one-hour diagnostic exam includes orthopedic testing and functional analysis to deliver a precise, personalized treatment plan for your injury or pain.

 

Why Start with a Diagnostic Exam?

When it comes to musculoskeletal conditions, a clear diagnosis is essential. Without it, even the best treatment tools can miss the mark.

That’s why our team of skilled providers takes the time to perform a thorough, individualized evaluation that includes:

  • Orthopedic testing to rule in and rule out possible conditions (e.g., soft tissue tears, joint dysfunction, nerve involvement)

  • Functional movement analysis to assess how your body is compensating and identify mechanical imbalances

  • Detailed health history to account for past injuries, lifestyle factors, and physical demands

  • Red flag screening to ensure safe and appropriate care

It’s not just about where it hurts—it’s about why it’s happening and what needs to change to help you move forward with confidence.
