Your first visit

An hour to find the cause of your pain and leave with a plan.

What to expect

Consultation and examination
Information about your medical history will be reviewed, along with what brought you in. The physical examination may include various orthopedic tests. From this Dr. Herner identifies which structures are involved: muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves or discs.
Labs and testing
Dr. Herner is fully qualified to diagnose physical conditions and to order diagnostics. If further tests would help identify the cause, Dr. Herner orders them: X‑rays, an MRI, a CT scan, a nerve function test, ultrasound or blood work.
Diagnosis and plan
Dr. Herner reviews the findings with you and forms a treatment plan tailored to your condition and goals. If your condition requires assessment by another specialist, a referral will be made.

Appointments are booked online through the patient portal or by phone, and walk‑ins are welcome during office hours.
New patient paperwork is completed at the office and does not take long.
Wear casual, comfortable clothing.
If you have X‑rays or reports from another provider, bring them or have them sent to the office.

Treatment typically begins at the next visit, with follow‑up visits scheduled according to your plan.
Soreness may occur after an initial adjustment. It is normal and usually improves within a couple of days.
If your benefits run out before your treatment is finished, an affordable self‑pay plan keeps your treatment on track.
