Therapeutic Services

Patients are not their injuries, and they are not an appointment or a diagnosis. At CoreFunction Clinic in Austin, our patients are the center of the doctor’s care.

Expert diagnosis begins with a close listening of our patients concerns and goals:

  • Initial appointments are an hour long
  • Treatment and recovery begin with the first visit
  • Each subsequent visit is 30 minutes
  • Treatment may include a number of treatment modalities
  • Customized level of care at every visit
  • Treatment goals include speedy, successful, and optimal whole person recovery, not ongoing and unnecessary dependence on care

You can trust that CoreFunction will work closely with other members of your chosen healthcare team, accepting referrals and referring out as is appropriate.
