What Should Patients Expect During a Consultation with a Pain Management Specialist?
During a consultation, the specialist will conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient's pain, including its intensity, duration, and impact on daily life. This may involve discussing the patient's medical history, current treatments, and lifestyle. The goal is to develop a personalized pain management plan that effectively addresses the patient's unique needs. Patients should come prepared to discuss their pain experiences openly and any previous pain management strategies they have tried.
