Overview
A consultation will help us better understand how your physical health, behaviors, thoughts, and emotions may be affecting your pain experience and daily life. It provides insight into your concerns and helps guide the next steps in your care.
What to expect
A member of our practice will meet with you to learn about your health history, current concerns, and the challenges you may be experiencing. The consultation also includes questionnaires and assessment measures, often referred to as psychological tests, as well as a review of relevant medical information.
Who can benefit from pain psychology?
Pain psychology can help people living with chronic pain, ongoing medical conditions, or physical symptoms that interrupt daily life. Whether pain is new or has been present for years, it can affect mood, sleep, relationships, and the ability to do the things you enjoy.
Pain psychology helps you understand the connection between your mind and body and develop practical tools to manage pain, reduce symptoms, improve daily functioning, and regain a sense of control. You don't have to be struggling emotionally to benefit—learning how to work with your body's pain responses can be a valuable part of your overall health care.
