- Initial Questioning: Assesses the overall constitution of the patient
- Orthopedic Examination and Diagnostic Imaging: Hypothesizes likelihood of injured tissue and possible contributing factors, and confirms or disproves the existence of such conditions
- Vertebral Fixations and Facilitated Segments: Takes into account age-related factors, specifically for athletes older than 30
- Posture Evaluation: Examines postural deviations and muscle imbalance that may be contributing to injury
- Diagnosis: Determines treatment plan and protocol

- Acupuncture treatment and/or Moxibustion Soft-tissue release, including:
