What to Expect at a Pain Institute Visit

A first visit to the Pain Institute at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center starts with time to talk. Your provider wants to understand when your pain started, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects the things you normally do, whether that is work, exercise, or a sport.

Expect a physical evaluation as part of the visit. Your provider may also ask about prior imaging, treatments you have already tried, or other providers you have seen.

Before you leave, your provider will walk you through what they found and talk with you about possible next steps. Some visits end with a plan you can start right away. Others may include a referral within the practice or a recommendation to return for a follow-up visit.

  • Bring a list of current medications
  • Bring any prior imaging or records, if you have them
  • Wear or bring clothing that allows easy movement for the exam
  • Write down your questions ahead of time
