The provider seemed to listen well to my symptoms. I was surprised he did not perform a physical exam or palpate the area of pain, given that muscle tension could be a contributing factor. After listening and asking good questions, he made a treatment suggestion that is meant to address one contributing factor of the pain. That might turn out to be all the treatment that is needed, however, it would have been helpful if he had oriented me to the overall process of treatment - such as: Are there alternative options? If this doesn't work, what are next steps? Will the general pain symptoms also be addressed in time? What is the process for moving forward with ongoing treatment of chronic symptoms? I think some general orientation to the appointment and treatment process would be very helpful for patients.
