Patients want to be seen as individuals, not as a diagnosis requiring a recipe of treatments over multiple visits. I want my patients to fully understand how their choices affect their health and fix the issue in (ideally) one visit. Doing this requires time to ask questions, test various differential diagnoses, and explain the results in layperson terms.
As a Board-certified expert in Applied Kinesiology, I often test over 20 different muscles during a typical visit. I dive into understanding my patient's dysfunction. This leads me to address their diet, emotional stress, and of course, providing physical adjustments during each visit-an individualized, holistic approach. The payoff is more effective treatments, lower recidivism, and faster healing for my patients. They feel better right away and don't need to be sold a multiple-visit 'treatment package."
Because I spend more time with my patients, by the definition provided I am "inefficient," but I have yet to meet a patient seeking a multiple-visit solution.
