If you’ve never visited a professional Pain Management Therapist before, you’re bound to have lots of questions or concerns. Below, you’ll find a list of several frequently asked questions from my patients. Connect with me today for more information.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST TREATMENT?
You will be asked to fill out a health history form which you can do in advance. If it's your first session, please look up the address in advance and plan to be on-time.Being late does not mean your appointment end time changes. It helps to bring or wear gym clothes or loose fitting clothes because you'll be moving around during the treatment. Payment is taken at the time of the appointment in cash or credit card.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?
You will be asked to fill out a health history form which you can do in advance. You'll discuss your issues and history with your therapist, who will then conduct an in-depth assessment in order to diagnose the root cause of your issues. Your therapist will then begin treatment using whichever techniques are most applicable to you. You may be clothed, but sometimes it helps to work directly on the skin in which case your therapist will let you know if you need to remove any clothing and be draped by a sheet. It helps to bring or wear gym clothes or loose fitting clothes because you'll be moving around during the treatment. Your session will end with a re-test of the initial issues to assess the change and results.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO BE TREATED?
Our treatments are designed to get you out of pain fast. When all other therapies have failed you, there is still hope and we can help with complicated cases. The length of treatment will depend on the severity of your injury/pain and the amount of time the issue has been building. In general, the more chronic an issue is the more sessions it will take to correct. After your first session you should see significant improvement. The remainder of the issue can be resoled in 5-15 weekly sessions and your therapist will discuss a treatment plan with you.
If you do not see significant improvement (usually in 3-5 sessions) then our treatments may not be right for you. For example, this would happen if the solution would be if the patient required surgery to correct the issue. If this happens, our therapist can recommend a path going forward.
