Diagnostic Assessment

We start every exam with a full diagnostic assessment.

Optimal Health is Knoxville’s leader in diagnostic assessment.

We’ve been serving and treating the people of Knoxville for over 35 years. For our patient’s convenience, we offer on-site lab work and diagnostic testing to provide patients a complete diagnosis.

Seasonal & Food Allergy / Hypersensitivity Testing

Seasonal allergies affect millions of people, yet can be easily tested for and treated. In-house scratch testing takes 20 minutes, and immunotherapy can provide relief that lasts for decades for most individuals. Even more common and often undiagnosed are food hypersensitivities. Affecting over 95% of the population, food hypersensitivity is the leading cause of IBS symptoms (bloating, gas, constipation, etc.) and often can cause headaches, weight gain, and inflammation throughout the body. A simple blood test can determine what foods need to be removed from the diet to eradicate symptoms.

Electromyography (EMG) Testing

Adept at testing the electrical activity in muscles or nerves, Electromyography (EMG) testing reveals any electrical irregularity in muscles or nerves that might be the cause of a patient’s pain.

Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) Testing

NCV Testing measures how well electrical impulses travel through a nerve. This test effectively identifies nerve injury and damage.

Functioning and Performance Testing

Prior to creating a treatment plan, a thorough evaluation by an Optimal Health professional will help clarify the level of damage to a patient’s skeletal or muscular system.

Radiographs

Physical medicine radiographers use very low levels of radiation to identify and analyze damage to a patient’s spine and extremities. The radiograph diagnostic test is non-invasive, working much like an x-ray.

Vascular Screenings

Optimal Health physical medicine specialists use vascular screenings to gauge a patient’s blood flow in relation to the patient’s blood pressure. This ultra-sonic diagnostic assessment can reveal serious conditions that may lead to eventual heart problems or stroke.

Physical Rehab

Studies show that improved flexibility and increased muscle strength lead to better coordination, balance and posture.

Physical medicine patients who incorporate physical therapy into an individualized treatment plan see faster results in pain management, and are quicker to resume their normal level of activity.

Physical rehabilitation is a team effort.

The specialists at Optimal Health work side by side with patients to complete multiple in-office sessions. Patients are often encouraged to continue physical rehab exercises at home, and those who do see the greatest impact on their health.

Allergy Testing & Management

Seasonal & Food Allergy / Hypersensitivity Testing

Seasonal allergies affect millions of people, yet can be easily tested for and treated. In house scratch testing takes 20 minutes, and immunotherapy can provide relief that lasts for decades for most individuals. Even more common and often undiagnosed are food hypersensitivities. Affecting over 95% of the population, food hypersensitivity is the leading cause of IBS symptoms (bloating, gas, constipation, etc.) and often can cause headaches, weight gain, and inflammation throughout the body. A simple blood test can determine what foods need to be removed from the diet to eradicate symptoms.

Allergy Testing

Seasonal allergies are widespread throughout the United States with East Tennessee being the worst in the country. Millions of people needlessly suffer at some point throughout the year with itchy, watery eyes, headaches, runny nose, etc. A simple 20 minute test can be used to determine what grasses, trees, molds or other allergens are causing symptoms. Then, immunotherapy injections are prescribed if needed. The benefit of doing allergy shots in this setting is less wasted time for the patient, as they are able to eliminate a separate trip to an allergy clinic. Also, most patients experience 25 years or more of relief after undergoing immunotherapy.

Functioning and Performance Testing

Prior to creating a treatment plan, a thorough evaluation by an Optimal Health professional will help clarify the level of damage to a patient’s skeletal or muscular system.

Food Sensitivity and Food Allergy Testing

In addition to environmental allergy testing, we also have the ability to evaluate how foods affect each patient. IgE and IgG evaluation of blood serum can reveal food allergies, food sensitivities, gluten intolerance or allergy, and determine the level of immune flora health in the lower GI tract. All these things can lead to chronic inflammation that produces numerous symptoms in the body, and leave the patient in a far less than optimal state of health. Our experienced staff will interpret your lab results for you and suggest diet modification. Patients watch things like irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, fatigue, joint pain, congestion, and other by products of elevated immune response to foods, disappear after diet modification is implemented. It is important that every patient get tested so they can play a part in reclaiming their health while under our care.

Chiropractic Care

For over 100 years, chiropractic care has been the leading treatment option for acute and chronic spinal pain syndromes. Chiropractic care counterbalances the everyday wear and tear we place on our bodies, and most often alleviates the pain associated with spinal injury. At our Optimal Health our doctors have extensive knowledge and experience in treating acute and chronic pain. Our healthcare professionals recommend chiropractic treatment for patients who have inflamed spinal joints, irritated spinal nerves, or pain in the extremities.

Through gentle manipulation, our highly skilled and trained chiropractors can reduce spinal and nerve restriction and inflammation, ultimately decreasing pain and restoring patients to a normal range of motion and flexibility.

To see if natural chiropractic care can help you with your pain and injuries, give our office a call today.

Our doctors will do a free consultation to see if you’re a candidate for natural chiropractic care.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

When traditional pain medications, physical therapy sessions and chiropractic adjustments fail, patients suffering from chronic pain often view invasive surgery as their only option to managing symptoms.

Chronic back and neck pain sufferers in Knoxville now have a non-invasive alternative to surgery. Optimal Health provides patients pain relief through Spinal Decompression Therapy. By replenishing nutrients and oxygen to herniated or bulging discs, Spinal Decompression Therapy enables the body to fully heal.

Optimal Health’s Spinal Decompression Therapy uses gentle motorized traction to safely and carefully stretch the spine. Creating space between the discs allows for greater blood flow—and in turn more nutrients—to access the damaged spine.

Spinal decompression therapy sessions are quite simple and pain-free, consisting of two uninterrupted 15-minute decompression cycles.

Trigger Point Injection

Trigger Point Injection Therapy

Muscles that are in constant spasm due to fatigue, stress or nerve damage can form knots, further irritating surrounding nerves. The specialists at Optimal Health offer Trigger Point Injection (TPI) treatment as a way to relax and loosen knotted muscles.

TPI successfully treats muscles throughout the body:

Neck
Shoulders
Arms
Lower Back
Legs

Trigger Point Therapy

Unlike traditional steroid injections, TPI therapy is an all-natural anti-inflammatory. After a thorough examination, an Optimal Health specialist will use TPI to interrupt a patient’s muscle spasm, creating almost immediate, long-lasting relief from pain.

Optimal Health has the resources needed to provide you pain relief without invasive surgeries.

Physical Medicine Pregnancy Care

Physical medicine provides a great number of benefits to women who are pregnant, and the specialists at Optimal Health have been trained to care for women throughout a pregnancy.

To make room for the development of a baby, a woman’s body undergoes a number of musculoskeletal changes:

Pelvic Changes
Postural Adjustments
Protruding Abdomen

Spinal Curvature
Stressed Joints
Fatigued Muscles

Establishing proper alignment can help a woman remain comfortable throughout her pregnancy, and may help prevent a caesarean delivery. Ensuring muscles and joints maintain their range of motion and flexibility will ease a woman’s labor. Optimal Health provides proven, safe chiropractic care to pregnant women, alleviating many of the symptoms associated with pregnancy, such as nausea, back, neck and joint pain.

Infant and Pediatric Care

Incorporating physical medicine into your infant or child’s standard care

Infant and Pediatric Care at Optimal Health

So much of physical medicine care is focused on the central nervous system, and often it is forgotten that children experience many of the same stressors as adults.

Improper functioning of the nervous system may result in lower resistance to germs, lower resistance to disease and a weakening of the internal organ system. Environmental stresses also negatively affect children:

Germs
Humidity
Pollen
Toxins

Routine physical medicine relieves children of many of the stressors bombarding their nervous system. Optimal Health provides infants and children the best in physical medicine care.

Neurological Relief Centers Technique

The Neurological Relief Centers Technique (NRCT) releases tension that builds up at the base of the skull. This added tension presses on the meninges (protective sheath covering the spinal cord and brain) and places pressure on the nerves at the top of the spine. This pressure on the nerves causes irritation from the base of the skull downward.

There are a number of symptoms that most often respond to NRCT:

Pain, particularly in the extremities
Headaches, Migraines
Sleeplessness
Digestive Problems
Mood Irregularity

How NRCT Works

Optimal Health offers NRCT as a non-invasive, drug-free solution to painful symptoms.

Our physical medicine professionals administer the NRCT over several 7-10 minute sessions. This test helps us assess the root of your pain, and create a treatment plan best suited to your needs.
