Why do I need a referral from my primary care physician?
The causes of chronic pain are complicated and difficult to diagnose at times. Acute or newer pain patterns should respond to lesser invasive and more conservative efforts and can usually be managed by your primary care physician or other medical practitioner. It is when your symptoms become more pronounced or chronic do you become a candidate for a pain management program. Your referral doc or PCP knows what is best for you and what studies you would need to get the most and fastest response from a pain management consultation.
