Evaluation: Most first time patients meet with their pain doctor, discuss their symptoms, and together work out a treatment plan. If needed further tests and or treatment options are outlined. Treatment usually begins immediately, but pain is not something that can be turned off immediately. Sometimes it takes time to find the treatment plan ghat works for you.

Expectations: The best pain groups will comprehensively address the history of your chronic pain condition, review diagnostic tests and or order new ones, perform a detailed pertinent physical examination, then design an individualized treatment plan which can include injections, braces, creams, medications, physical therapy and more options. All of these may be initiated at the first visit.
