You can expect to receive the most thorough consultation you have ever had for your back pain. Your consultation and treatment will be divided into three parts, usually spread across separate visits:
1. Initial Consultation: This first session takes about 2 hours. During this time, Dr. Jared will delve into your back pain history, from what triggers it to the treatments you’ve tried. He’ll conduct a thorough examination, probing your back and evaluating your postures and movements. Any existing imaging (such as X-rays or MRIs) will also be reviewed.
At the end, you’ll receive a detailed diagnosis, an explanation of your specific pain triggers, and a written summary of what was discovered during the consultation.
2. Follow-Up Visits: The initial follow-up visit typically lasts approximately 1 hour. During this visit, you’ll be guided through safe, pain-free postures and movement patterns to help you steer clear of your pain triggers during your daily activities. You’ll achieve a clear understanding of how to manage your pain in everyday life along with a written summary of these techniques to refer to later.
3. Exercise Coaching Sessions: The final phase of your treatment program focuses on building strength and resilience in your back. You’ll receive a personalized rehabilitation program tailored to your pain type, anatomy, and fitness level, and will learn exercises and movements to restore your back’s resilience safely and effectively.
By the end of this 3-part consultation, you will know what your specific pain triggers are, how to avoid them, and how to restore your back’s resilience. As such, you will have a clear way forward on how to resolve your back pain. Future visits may be needed to solidify some of the postures and movement patterns or to progress your exercises.
