Your first appointment will last for about 60 minutes. Your physician will work with you to diagnose your problem and develop a treatment plan. No pain medications are initiated at the first visit. You may anticipate the following:

​

• A complete examination in context with your complaints

• Discussion of a plan to manage your pain, including the possibility of simply providing recommendations to your primary care provider.

• Appropriate tests may be ordered or requested if they have been done in the past, but the report is not available.
