You will need to sign an informed consent form. The purpose of informed consent is to ensure that the patient fully understands the implications and risks associated with a treatment, so that they can make an informed decision about how they wish to proceed.<\/li>\n<li>Time spent in the waiting room is minimal, and you will be seen by our healthcare professional at your appointment time, provided, of course, that you arrive on time.<\/li>\n<li>With this in mind, complete the health history form (<a href=\"https:\/\/cliniquetagmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/questionnaire-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">download here<\/a> ) before coming to your appointment. If you are unable to do so, arrive 15 minutes before your appointment to allow time to complete it before meeting our practitioner.<\/li>\n<li>You will then meet with one of our qualified practitioners to discuss your health and address any questions or concerns you may have.<\/li>\n<li>Your practitioner may also perform a physical examination and\/or suggest various other tests, such as an X-ray, if deemed necessary.<\/li>\n<li>If your treatment requires a referral from a physician for medical imaging, this will be discussed with your practitioner, and the appropriate information will be provided to obtain the referral.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, your practitioner will discuss with you the measures to be taken regarding your treatment or your care plan and is able to respond to other questions that you may have on this subject so that you can make an informed decision.<\/li>\n<li>In most cases, we will be able to begin the first treatment unless your condition requires further examinations to rule out an underlying condition.<\/li>\n<li>Calculate that you will be to our clinic for about 1 hour in total.<\/li>\n<li>At the end of the treatment, you should pay the fees, as each time you visit.<\/li>\n<li>We accept payment cash, debit, Visa or Mastercard.<\/li>\n<li>We&#039;ll print it or send you by e-mail, a claim form to your insurance company.<\/li>\n<li>You will need to schedule your next appointment with the receptionist, if this is suggested by your therapist.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>If your condition requires more than one treatment, we will explain how many treatments you will need and how often they will take place. As every patient is different, and we do not know the severity or nature of your health condition at the time you are reading this, we cannot provide more information about this here. All of this will be discussed during your first visit.

The staff will assess each case individually and make a decision at the end of the initial examination.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>If you have already had X-rays, an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), a CT scan (computed tomography) or an ultrasound and have the written reports, please bring them to your first visit to our clinic. This will allow us to begin your treatment without delay.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may therefore be able to begin treatment at your first visit to Clinique TAGMED, but this will depend on the nature of your visit and the severity of your condition: straightforward back pain without concerning neurological symptoms can generally be treated during the first visit, whereas a herniated disc with severe numbness in the legs or arms requires medical imaging before any treatment begins, to ensure that there are no contraindications and that treatment can begin safely.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>.

Unfortunately, there is no single answer to whether ice or heat is the best way to relieve your pain. It all depends on the nature and location of the pain. If you have a muscle strain or sprain, applying ice will assist in reducing inflammation in the affected area and will generally provide more comfort. For joint problems such as arthritis that cause stiffness, heat will generally be more beneficial for soothing the area and increasing flexibility. If you are unsure which method to use, consult us for clarification.

The health and safety of our patients is our top priority, so in some cases it may be necessary to x-rays in order to receive the best care possible. Our team of professionals will determine if x-rays are necessary or not, and explain the reasons for any request, as x-rays. Understanding why a test or procedure is necessary can help alleviate the discomfort and help you make informed decisions about your care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We should all pay attention to how often we have X-rays, as excessive exposure to ionizing radiation can pose a significant health risk. Physicians should prescribe X-rays only for examinations that are truly necessary, ensuring that they are performed as safely as possible using shielding and specialized techniques. Patients also play an important role in limiting their own exposure by asking detailed questions about each X-ray they may need and understanding why it is medically necessary so they can assess their own risks. By taking these steps, we can ensure that exposure to ionizing radiation is kept to an absolute minimum while providing health professionals with the diagnostic images needed to make informed decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Rest assured that if X-rays are recommended, it is because they are necessary to provide the most appropriate care for your health condition!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"betterdocs-faq-group\"><div class=\"betterdocs-faq-post\">\n\t<div class=\"betterdocs-faq-post-icon-group\"><svg class=\"betterdocs-faq-iconplus\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M18 10h-4V6h-4v4H6v4h4v4h4v-4h4\"><\/path><\/svg><svg class=\"betterdocs-faq-iconminus\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M6 10h12v4H6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\t<p class=\"betterdocs-faq-post-name\">\n\t\tHow should I prepare for the first visit to the clinic TAGMED ?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"betterdocs-faq-main-content\">\n\t<p>In order to be prepared for your first visit to the clinic TAGMED, we recommend that you :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prepare a list of questions and know your medical history, current (including medicines that you take).<\/li>\n<li>Take all the relevant information such as the results of examinations or laboratory tests performed by a health care professional before.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a referral note from another specialist, please bring it.<\/li>\n<li>If you have developed symptoms of new or unusual between the time the appointment was scheduled, and the moment you arrive at the clinic, please report them to the health care professional that you evaluera.<\/li>\n<li>Download, print and complete our health history form <a href=\"https:\/\/cliniquetagmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/questionnaire-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Ffamiliarisez you with the different treatments offered at our clinic and know what you can expect.<\/li>\n<li>Also, make sure to be aware of the different risks and possible side effects associated with the treatment offered by the clinic Tagmed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>You should also take all necessary measures (e.g. apply ice to the area swollen) in order to ensure that your body is ready to receive a new treatment.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Finally, if you were unable to complete our form, as mentioned above, arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time to ensure you have enough time to discuss your condition, make the assessment and your treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"betterdocs-faq-group\"><div class=\"betterdocs-faq-post\">\n\t<div class=\"betterdocs-faq-post-icon-group\"><svg class=\"betterdocs-faq-iconplus\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M18 10h-4V6h-4v4H6v4h4v4h4v-4h4\"><\/path><\/svg><svg class=\"betterdocs-faq-iconminus\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M6 10h12v4H6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\t<p class=\"betterdocs-faq-post-name\">\n\t\tYour treatments, to the clinic TAGMED, require-t-they a doctor&#039;s referral ?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"betterdocs-faq-main-content\">\n\t<p>Most of the treatments offered at the clinic TAGMED can be taken <strong>without a referral or prescription<\/strong>for an initial consultation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That being said, if your state requires a treatment for a specific condition such as herniated disc, your doctor may recommend a review of medical imaging (X-Rays, MRI SCAN) that is appropriate and tailored to your needs.<\/p>\n<p>If you have already done these exams, please get results and have on hand during your first visit to our clinic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"betterdocs-faq-group\"><div class=\"betterdocs-faq-post\">\n\t<div class=\"betterdocs-faq-post-icon-group\"><svg class=\"betterdocs-faq-iconplus\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M18 10h-4V6h-4v4H6v4h4v4h4v-4h4\"><\/path><\/svg><svg class=\"betterdocs-faq-iconminus\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M6 10h12v4H6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\t<p class=\"betterdocs-faq-post-name\">\n\t\tWhat health conditions do you treat at the clinic TAGMED ?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"betterdocs-faq-main-content\">\n\t<p>Our experienced therapists have the expertise to assess and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic back pain, neck pain and headaches.

The osteopathic techniques used may vary depending on your condition and the treatment recommended by the treating staff.<\/p>\n<p>The main difference between massage therapy and osteopathy is that <strong>massage therapy<\/strong> is only focused on relaxation and the treatment of muscle tension, while <strong>osteopathy<\/strong> offers a more holistic approach aimed at correcting structural dysfunctions and restoring normal body movement.

Care may vary depending on the diagnosis, and more complex procedures may take time. Nevertheless, most appointments are intended to be short and precise to ensure that you receive the best possible treatment.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, shockwave treatment may take 5 minutes for some conditions, whereas spinal decompression for a herniated disc requires a combined treatment totalling 30 minutes. For osteopathy treatments, here is our <strong>WARNING<\/strong> : Unlike most osteopathy clinics, we do not believe that a general treatment of a fixed duration, such as 60 minutes, is the most effective way to address the health problems for which you consult us. Specific osteopathy is more precise and effective than traditional osteopathy because treatment is more specific and tailored to the patient's exact condition. As a result, a specific osteopathy treatment generally takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the condition being treated and the level of pain and\/or inflammation. In general, the more pain a person is experiencing, the shorter the intervention will be, since we must relieve pain quickly without further irritating the structure where inflammation is present. Clearly, if you are looking for a long, relaxing treatment, this is not the right place. However, if you want effective, specific treatment tailored to your condition, you have found a clinic that can assist you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"betterdocs-faq-group\"><div class=\"betterdocs-faq-post\">\n\t<div class=\"betterdocs-faq-post-icon-group\"><svg class=\"betterdocs-faq-iconplus\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M18 10h-4V6h-4v4H6v4h4v4h4v-4h4\"><\/path><\/svg><svg class=\"betterdocs-faq-iconminus\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M6 10h12v4H6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\t<p class=\"betterdocs-faq-post-name\">\n\t\tHow much treatment is what I&#039;ll need ?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"betterdocs-faq-main-content\">\n\t<p>It is difficult to predict how many treatments will be needed at the clinic TAGMED because this will depend on the specific needs of the patient and the treatment plan developed by the staff in caring for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the amount of processing that you will need to the clinic TAGMED will depend on your health condition, its chronicity, its severity and the recommendations of the therapist.

Treatment may include treatment manuals, traction and\/or therapies such as laser or the shockwave, as the case may be.

Complementary therapies may incur additional fees. For example, if you consult us for the treatment of one or more herniated discs in your lower back, you will pay $140 for spinal decompression treatment of one region of your spine. If you instead want spinal decompression treatment for one or more herniated discs in your lower back and a second treatment for one or more herniated discs in your neck, the cost is $200, because these are two treatments of two different regions. The spinal decompression table cannot apply traction to your back and neck at the same time: it can treat only one region (lower back or neck) at a time.

manual therapy technique that involves manipulating the body to reduce pain, uncover dysfunctions and restore joint mechanics. Two very distinct osteopathic approaches are specific osteopathy and classical osteopathy. Specific osteopathy is a more modern approach, using evidence-based findings and current technologies, while classical osteopathy returns to the original form, using deeper manipulation of the body and relying on the osteopath's intuition and experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Osteopathy is different from the osteopathy classical: it is a unique form of manual medicine focusing on the precise treatment of dysfunctions, musculoskeletal treatments scientists based on evidence. This technique aims to reduce the aches and pains, while offering many of the patients mobility. Osteopaths also attach importance to the general state of health, taking into account the mode of life and emotional states before choosing an appropriate treatment plan. It is particularly suited to those who prefer the natural alternatives to medical treatment because osteopathy is not just to bring relief, but also encourages the well-being in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>Osteopaths are specific practitioners highly qualified who do not use their hands to assess and treat various physical dysfunctions of the body: they also use brain scans (X-rays, MRI, ct or ultrasound) and in the complementary therapy of high technology. His treatments are very specific to the condition of the patient and, therefore, much more efficient and safer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, a herniated disc cannot be treated with conventional structural osteopathic mobilization. Although this technique may provide some short-term relief, it offers no medium- or long-term benefit. However, numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of spinal decompression therapy for treating herniated discs.

class=\"betterdocs-faq-main-content\">\n\t<p>Unlike most osteopathy clinics, we do not believe that a general treatment of a fixed duration, such as 60 minutes, is the most effective way to address the health problems for which you consult us. Specific osteopathy is more precise and effective than traditional osteopathy because treatment is more specific and tailored to the patient's exact condition. As a result, a specific osteopathy treatment generally takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the condition being treated and the level of pain and\/or inflammation. In general, the more pain a person is experiencing, the shorter the intervention will be, since we must relieve pain quickly without further irritating the structure where inflammation is present. Clearly, if you are looking for a long, relaxing treatment, this is not the right place. However, if you want effective, specific treatment tailored to your condition, you have found a clinic that can assist you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"betterdocs-faq-group\"><div
