Before Surgery Review

Do the findings match what you feel?

Over the Knife compares the findings in your written imaging report with your symptoms, painful movements, treatment history, and available records.

Dr. Kwon, DC, does not determine surgical necessity or replace your surgeon.

What the review compares

Your presentation and any procedure you were offered

The review brings your pain pattern, painful motions, functional limits, prior care, and written imaging reports into one place.

If surgery has not been discussed, the review can still organize what may deserve focused in-person evaluation. If surgery is being considered, it can also help you prepare for the next conversation with your surgeon.

Surgical target, when available

The proposed procedure and the structure it is intended to address, when surgery has been discussed.

Pain and movement pattern

The symptoms you report, the motions that reproduce them, and the activities they limit.

Focused evaluation priorities

Muscles, tendons, fascial pain, nerve-pain mimics, or movement patterns that may deserve additional attention when supported by the available information.

Your next step

Start with the private screening

Your detailed screening answers are processed locally in your browser and are not transmitted to Over the Knife. Only information you separately choose to submit through the contact or secure intake process is transmitted.
