Do I need a referral to make an appointment?
This depends on your insurance plan. Some insurance providers require a referral from your primary care physician or specialist. Please check with your insurance company, or contact us, and we can help guide you.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
During your first visit:
- We will review your medical history and current symptoms.
- You may be asked to describe your pain and its impact on your daily life.
- We may perform a physical examination or review any imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, MRIs).
- A personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific needs.
Are the procedures painful?
Most procedures involve minimal discomfort. We use local anesthesia and sometimes mild sedation to ensure your comfort. Our goal is to reduce your pain, not add to it.
How long do the procedures take?
Many interventional pain procedures are quick, lasting 15-30 minutes. However, the total visit may take longer to allow for preparation, the procedure itself, and recovery time.
How soon can I return to normal activities after a procedure?
Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours. We will provide you with specific post-procedure instructions tailored to your treatment.
Will my insurance cover the treatments?
Many pain management treatments are covered by insurance, but coverage varies by provider and plan. Our staff will verify your benefits and discuss any out-of-pocket costs before your procedure.
How long does it take for the treatments to work?
The timeframe for relief depends on the procedure. Some treatments, like nerve blocks, provide immediate relief, while others, like steroid injections, may take a few days. Long-term treatments, such as radiofrequency ablation, may take weeks for full effect.
Are these treatments safe?
Yes, our procedures are minimally invasive and performed using advanced imaging guidance to ensure precision and safety. We follow strict protocols to minimize risks.
How often will I need treatment?
This varies depending on your condition and response to treatment. Some patients experience long-lasting relief from a single procedure, while others may require a series of treatments.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring:
- A list of current medications
- Any relevant imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, MRIs, CT scans)
- Your insurance card and ID
- A referral, if required by your insurance
Do you offer non-invasive or alternative pain treatments?
Yes, we provide options like physical therapy referrals, lifestyle counseling, and regenerative medicine therapies like PRP to complement interventional treatments.
Can I still receive treatment if I am pregnant?
Some treatments are safe during pregnancy, but we will discuss all risks and benefits with you to determine the best course of action.
