Patient Resources

You are the most important member of your rehabilitation team. Your physician, therapists, and other team members will guide your rehabilitation, but you must recognize that you have a responsibility to participate in, and take ownership of, any decisions involving your health care. You will play an integral role in formulating your treatment plan, so ask questions about anything you do not understand.

At the Evergreen Sport and Spine Center, our primary goals are to eliminate pain, maximize function, and restore your quality of life. Because every patient is unique, we prescribe treatment based on a thorough evaluation and appropriate diagnostic testing. Furthermore, we feel that patients do best when they are properly educated regarding their diagnosis so they can have an active role in the decision-making and treatment process. In our experience patients who participate in their own health care decisions are far more likely to maximize their recovery and restore function.
