You might meet with a pharmacist, physical therapist, and social worker all at once, or one of these individuals first depending on the details of your referral.
In the first visit, we will meet with you to:
- Listen to your pain story. We know this can be hard to share, so we invite you to share as much or as little as you want.
- Ask you about your goals. What might you be doing more of if your pain was better managed?
- Review your relevant medical history.
- Talk about the medications you currently use and ones you may have tried in the past.
- Offer education about potential treatment options in the areas of Mind, Movement, and Medication.
Since we are a teaching facility, there may also be students observing or participating in the appointment; however, the appointment will be led by a fully-licensed clinician.
