Good ones: Perform a comprehensive evaluation of your painful condition and develop a plan to further evaluate the condition if needed, as well as a treatment plan to address the pain. Treatment may include counseling and lifestyle modification to medications, interventional injections and surgical consultation if needed. Any doctor can call themselves a pain management specialist, so beware.
