What to Expect During Treatment
When attending physical therapy for chronic pain, your first session will be an initial evaluation.
During this session, you will meet your physical therapist and discuss your condition. Your therapist should ask questions about your pain and how it behaves.
Your physical therapist will also ask about any previous treatments you have received and the effect those treatments have had. Then they will have you perform various tests and measures to get a sense of any impairments that may be contributing to your pain in order to complete your Plan of Care.
