Common Patient Inquiries
Understanding what to expect during your visit can ease any concerns. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our procedures and care.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring any relevant medical records, including imaging discs, pain management history, and an updated list of medications. This helps us provide the best care possible.
What are the potential side effects of injections?
Common side effects may include temporary discomfort at the injection site, facial flushing, or mild bleeding. Serious side effects are rare but should be discussed with your provider.
How soon will I feel relief after a procedure?
Relief can vary; some patients feel better immediately, while others may notice improvement over a few weeks. If you have concerns, please contact our office.
Will I be awake during my procedure?
Most procedures use local anesthesia to numb the area. For certain procedures, conscious sedation may be used, requiring you to fast and arrange transportation.
What should I do if I experience side effects at home?
If you experience fever, numbness, or persistent headaches, contact our office immediately or visit the nearest emergency department.
Can I continue my regular activities after treatment?
We recommend resting on the day of your procedure. Gradually resume activities as tolerated, and follow any specific instructions provided by your physician.
