Northwest Indiana Pain Management Doctors

If you are suffering from chronic pain that is impacting your quality of life, it’s important that you seek help from a professional pain control doctor. At Pain Control Associates, LLC, our doctors take a holistic approach to pain management. If you have made an appointment with our team, here are some things to be aware of when preparing for your first pain management appointment. If you have any questions about our services, what to expect, or how to prepare for your appointment, please reach out to us directly at your convenience. 

Review and Complete the New Patient Forms Found on Our Website

One way to improve your in-office experience is to complete our new patient forms before coming into our office. While we are happy to provide the forms for you at the time of your appointment, it may be more convenient for you to access the forms online, print them at home, complete them before your appointment, and then bring them to your first appointment with you. New patient forms that we ask our patients to complete include:

• New patient intake form
• Patient initial evaluation history and physical form
• PCA narcotics agreement
• Notice of privacy practices
• Discrimination policy 

Important Information You’ll Need When Filling Out our New Patient Forms

Whether or not you fill out our new patient forms in your home at your leisure or in our office, you’ll need to be prepared with some important information. Data that you’ll need to fill out these forms accurately and in full include:

• Emergency contact information
• Your health history, including times of your last appointments related to pain management and the names of previous doctors
• Insurance information
• The name of your primary care physician
• Your primary language spoken
• Any other important details about your condition and your health history

What to Expect During Your First Appointment

At Pain Control Associates, LLC, our goal is to provide comprehensive care to our clients. In order to do so, your first appointment will involve getting to know each other a little bit better — we’d like to learn more about your pain, your previous injuries, your lifestyle, why you’re seeking care, and who you are, and we want you to have the opportunity to get to know our doctors, too. After getting to know you and going through your full medical history together, we’ll perform a physical exam. Throughout your appointment, you will interact with one of our pain management doctors as well as a nurse. Following your appointment, we may order additional testing or a future exam.
