Depends upon the pathology but you do an initial assessment,
neurovascular or orthopedic examination,
soft tissue examination,
you assess where the pathology is coming from,
where the discomfort's coming from
and then you decide on a treatment regiment
and then you proceed with the treatment regiment.
Might be ice and anti-inflammatories,
it might be an injection of a steroid and anti-inflammatory,
it might be a strapping,
it might be an orthotic,
it might be a brace
and it might be surgery.
