Preparing for a Pain Consultation
Start With Your Questions
A few notes can help you keep track of what you want to discuss: when did the pain start, which activities are harder now, and what have you already tried? Ask the clinic whether it needs previous reports or records before your appointment.
Questions About Treatment Choices
Ask about evidence, alternatives, limitations, risks and current availability.
01
Trigger Point Therapy
Ask why this option might be discussed for your situation, which alternatives are available, and what benefits, limitations and risks you should understand. Confirm current availability with the clinic.
02
If you are interested in PRP, ask what evidence applies to your condition, what alternatives may be available and what remains uncertain. Ask about risks, recovery, follow-up and the full proposed cost. These are consultation questions, not a recommendation to have a procedure.
03
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy
Ask the clinician what evidence applies to the option being discussed, what would make it unsuitable for you, and how you would decide whether to continue. Contact the clinic to confirm current appointment options.
Questions About Your Next Step
During your consultation, ask what is known about the possible cause of your pain and what remains uncertain. Which options are worth discussing? What benefits, limitations and risks should you understand? How would you decide whether a plan is helping, and what would the next step be if it does not help?
