Our Proven Method
The Goal Alignment Audit (Discovery)
- A pain point is holding you back from your active life, or you are seeking answers for a specific diagnosis or treatment.
- The Goal Alignment Audit identifies and resolves what is stopping you—eliminating key dangers, capturing new opportunities, and maximizing your physical strengths.
- We do not just ask where it hurts; we uncover what foot pain is taking away from your life so you feel truly heard.
- Whether your goal is returning to workouts, playing tennis, walking 18 holes of golf, or traveling comfortably, we map your treatment around your personal lifestyle “Why.”
Partnered Structural Evaluation & Precision Diagnostics (Examination)
- We perform a comprehensive clinical evaluation—listening intently to your full health history, specific pain points, and mobility goals so we understand the exact impact on your daily life.
- We utilize Northern California’s ONLY CurveBeam™ PedCAT® weight-bearing 3D CT scanner to isolate the structural cause of your pain in minutes; Because you cannot fix a complex three dimensional problem with a two-dimensional X-ray.
Our Proprietary Treatment Philosophy – The 10R Strategy Session (Presentation)
- Its our experience that patients want options but love a plan, especially when it’s all about your future and our experience and knowledge.
- Dr. Metaxas informs and simplifies your care using our proprietary 10-R™ Treatment Philosophy. (*Reduce, Regenerate, Realign, Restore*)
- We prioritize non-surgical, biological and regenerative options first, and when surgery is necessary, perform it using precise, minimally invasive techniques.
