Elite Biomechanical Assessment

At Hartfield-Jackson Sport & Spine, we know that guessing leads to plateauing. An accurate diagnosis is the critical first step toward effective treatment and optimal performance. Led by Olympian Dr. Michael "Flight" Hartfield, DC, OLY, our Elite Biomechanical Assessments are thorough, evidence-based, and designed to identify the exact source of your pain, power loss, or dysfunction, rather than simply patching up the symptoms.

Our Diagnostic Approach

We utilize a multifaceted, data-driven approach to your assessment, ensuring no detail is overlooked. Our process typically includes:

• ✓
  Detailed Health & Performance History:A comprehensive review of your past injuries, current training load, athletic background, and specific physical roadblocks.
• ✓
  Biomechanical Analysis:Evaluating your posture, gait, and dynamic movement patterns to identify imbalances, compensations, or areas where your body is leaking power.
• ✓
  Neurological & Orthopedic Testing (Neuro-Eval):Specialized assessments to evaluate exactly how your nervous system is firing and to test the integrity and function of your joints, ligaments, and muscles.
• ✓
  Functional Movement Screening:Assessing how your body moves through specific athletic and daily patterns to pinpoint hidden functional limitations.

Why a Thorough Assessment Matters

Without a precise understanding of what is causing your issue, treatment is just guesswork. Our elite-level assessment bridges the gap between performance data and clinical intervention. It provides the exact data needed to create your Custom Performance Blueprint—a highly targeted, individualized care plan. Whether you are an elite competitor looking to shatter your personal records or an active individual wanting to return to your favorite activities pain-free, our diagnostic precision sets the foundation for your recovery and performance optimization.
