How the diagnosis-first visit works

Evaluation may include neurologic exam, imaging review, prior treatment history, and discussion of how symptoms affect sleep, driving, work, and daily activity.

The goal is to connect symptoms, exam findings, imaging, prior response to care, insurance or referral requirements, and practical goals before recommending a next step.

What treatment conversations may include

Treatment conversations may include therapy coordination, medications when appropriate, trigger point injections, cervical epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, or other image-guided options.

Not every patient is a candidate for every procedure. Your physician will recommend care based on diagnosis, medical history, imaging, exam, and safety considerations.

Frequently asked questions

Can I request a specific procedure?

You can ask about any treatment, but procedures are recommended only after evaluation confirms they are medically appropriate.

Should I bring imaging?

Yes. Bring MRI, CT, x-ray reports, prior injection notes, therapy records, medication lists, and referral information if available.
