records and ask you to describe your medical history
with a special emphasis on your pain and how it has
affected you. The physician will also perform a
thorough physical examination to see what other tests
or treatments might be needed to help you.
What happens after I’m examined at the Weiss Center

what the Weiss Center can offer to help manage your pain. You will
decide on a plan of treatment together.

until you and your pain management specialist feel you’ve attained
a satisfactory level of pain management.
