Have your physician send us a referral along with your records, or contact our office directly.

Acute pain happens when you have a new injury, such as a broken bone. Acute pain goes away after your body heals from the injury that caused the pain. Chronic pain lasts for over 3 months. The pain can be there all the time, or it may come and go.

After your appointment, we will bill your insurance. Depending on your plan, you will be responsible for copay, deductible, or coinsurance. Copays are due at the time of service. Self-pay patients, please contact our office for current prices.

Appointments are determined by your physician and can range from every 1-3 months.

There is minimal discomfort with injections. A small ice pack may help relieve discomfort at the needle insertion site for the first 24 hours. OTC medication or regularly scheduled pain medication may also be taken.

Procedures are performed under sterile conditions. There is a low risk with procedures. Any signs of infection should be reported, as well as severe back pain not relieved with medications and ice or any prolonged, new numbness or weakness.

During your new patient consultation, you will be interviewed about your medical history and a pain assessment will be completed. Dr. Lovett will also review any diagnostic tests or imaging you have had performed and do a physical exam to incorporate a treatment plan that is tailored to you.
