Second Opinions

Get a Second Opinion

from Central Wisconsin's Top Chiropractors

Are you considering surgery or injections for an injury?

Has your physical therapy or rehab program not worked as well as you had hoped?

Would you like to stop taking pain medications on a regular basis?

Whether your condition is due to a sports injury, car accident, work injury, or daily living, you owe it to yourself to explore all of the treatment options available to you. Getting a second opinion from a chiropractor may open new treatment options to you. 

Innovative Health offers complimentary second opinions.

3 Reasons to Get a Second Opinion

1. Verify a Diagnosis

It has been said that diagnosing medical conditions is part art and part science. There are times when two different providers can review the same medical file and diagnose two different conditions with two very different courses of treatment. Before you begin a care plan, you must be sure you’ve received a proper diagnosis.

2. Explore All Treatment Options

Does your current treatment plan include invasive procedures, such as surgery or injections, or prescription drugs? Are there other, less risky treatment options available? When exploring treatment options, it is crucial that you ask about the potential risks and benefits of each of the options you are considering.

It is also recommended to get a second opinion from a different medical institution, doctor’s group, or specialty.  Getting a second opinion from a chiropractor may offer a different perspective and open the door to treatment options you may not have otherwise considered.

3. Find a Doctor You Trust

It is important that your treating physician truly listens to you, understands your condition, and takes the time to answer all of your questions.

Will my doctor be upset?

No, second opinions are common.

A good physician will understand your need to speak with more than one expert when faced with an important medical decision. He or she should encourage you to get all of the information that you need in order to feel confident in choosing the treatment plan that’s best for you.

What to Expect

Bring along records and imaging
At Innovative Health, we provide complimentary second-opinion consultations. During the appointment, one of our chiropractors will sit down with you to discuss your condition, review your current X-rays and/or MRI results (*see note below), and provide a second opinion on your current diagnosis. In many cases, we have non-surgical, drug-free treatment options that are as effective, if not more effective, than other medical options. And, if we don’t feel we can help you, we’ll tell you. No matter the result, there is no cost and no obligation. *NOTE: Please bring a copy of your current records and tests to the appointment.  You can use this Medical Records Request form to have them sent to our office. If you need assistance in requesting these records, please call our office at least 3 days before your appointment to allow time for the records to be transferred. Complimentary consultations do not include taking new X-rays.

No-Cost Second Opinions

Feel confident in your diagnosis and treatment options.
