A specialist may be appropriate for you:

- If you suffer from chronic pain, pain lasting more than 12 weeks.
- If your range of motion is limited.
- If you experience instability while standing up, sitting down, standing or walking.
- If you have experienced an injury that has not improved in 48 hours such as a sprained ankle or twisted knee.
