Pain Management in Beaumont Hills

What happens at your first pain management appointment

Knowing what to expect makes the first visit easier. Here is how a first pain management appointment runs for patients coming to us from Beaumont Hills.

1. 1

   Health history and consultation

   Your first appointment begins with a detailed conversation about your main concern, medical history, current medications, sleep, digestion, energy and stress levels. This usually takes 15–20 minutes and shapes everything that follows.

2. 2

   Physical assessment

   Joy assesses range of movement, posture and the specific structures involved, and asks about how the pain behaves across a day — what provokes it, what eases it, and how it affects sleep and work.

3. 3

   First treatment

   Depending on your presentation this may combine acupuncture with cupping, moxibustion or electro-acupuncture. Many people notice a change in pain levels during the session itself.

4. 4

   Treatment plan and expectations

   Before you leave, you will have a clear plan: how many sessions are likely, how frequently, what improvement to look for, and by when. If Traditional Chinese Medicine is not the right fit for your concern, Joy will tell you and suggest where to go instead.

How long it takes. Initial appointment 60–75 minutes; follow-up sessions 45–60 minutes.
