Begin with the pattern you have noticed
Tell Lauren when your neck discomfort began and how it affects your day. Desk work, driving, sleep, exercise, and previous injuries are useful topics for the conversation.
Mention headaches, arm symptoms, or changes in sensation or strength. If the problem followed a collision, see the car accident page for additional preparation questions.
Discuss the options before treatment
An examination comes first. Lauren explains her findings, the options she recommends, and their considerations. Ask what a proposed technique involves and discuss any concerns about treatment to your neck.
You can decline a technique or ask about alternatives. A visit does not mean that every available approach is suitable for you.
Make room for your questions
If you have had an uncomfortable experience before, tell Lauren what happened and what you would like handled differently.
