This page describes The Pain Institute as a service the practice offers. It is not medical advice, and it does not replace an in-person visit with a provider who can review your specific history and current health.
- Designed for active adults and athletes of all ages
- Offered through Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center
- A starting point for a conversation about ongoing pain, not a self-diagnosis tool
What to Expect at Your Visit
A visit built around The Pain Institute starts like most appointments at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center: check-in, a review of your health history, and time to describe what you’ve been feeling and how it affects your daily routine or activity.
Your provider will ask about when the discomfort started, what makes it better or worse, and how it fits into your work, sport, or daily life. This conversation helps guide the visit before any physical exam takes place.
From there, you can generally expect:
- A focused conversation about your history and activity level
- A physical exam appropriate to your concern
- Time for questions before you leave
- A plan for next steps, discussed together with your provider
Specific recommendations are made in person by your provider based on your individual exam. This page can describe the general flow of a visit, but only a provider who has examined you can speak to your particular situation.
