There are many causes of pain; hence accurate diagnosis is essential to a positive outcome. Through history, physical examination, radiologic studies, and appropriate testing we first attempt to determine the specific cause of an individual's pain.
EVALUATIONS
Medical Services
Evaluation of the pain complaint includes a complete medical history and physical examination targeted to the pain complaint. All current medications are reviewed, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications. Please be sure to bring a complete list or your medications or actual medication vials to each office visit.
If diagnostic testing has been completed, copies of MRI reports and films are needed to assist in the evaluation of your pain complaint. Please bring these to your first visit. Records of previous treatments for your pain are also important. Knowing your response to previous treatments will assist us in tailoring your treatment plan. Please have prior medical records forwarded to us.
If necessary, further diagnostic testing may be ordered by NJPC doctors. It is important to understand that the exact reason may not be discovered, but testing may exclude (“rule out”) serious underlying conditions, which may be responsible for your pain.
