The first visit takes 45 to 60 minutes. The pain specialist will take a detailed pain history: location, character, triggers, what makes it better or worse, and previous treatments.

The treatment plan may include medication adjustments, a series of diagnostic or therapeutic injections, physical therapy, and in some cases psychological support for coping strategies. Expect a multi-step approach rather than a single solution.
