Knowing which condition you have allows your provider to customize a treatment plan that’s highly effective and long-lasting.

What happens during physicals?

During physicals at Synchrony Medical Group, your provider evaluates your overall health to detect or rule out medical concerns.

They weigh you, assess your blood pressure and other vital signs, and discuss your medical history. This includes any current or past diagnoses, symptoms, medications, lifestyle habits, and your family history of diseases.

Your specialist also examines your eyes, throat, neck, breathing, reflexes, limbs, and more to look for potential signs of injuries or other underlying causes of discomfort.

What should I expect after my physical?

A physical exam is just part of a pain management evaluation at Synchrony Medical Group. Your specialist may also order diagnostic testing to confirm a diagnosis. They may suggest blood testing, X-rays, an MRI, a CT scan, or another imaging procedure to obtain in-depth images of a painful or injured part of your body.

After the Synchrony Medical Group team diagnoses your condition, they establish the most appropriate treatment plan. They might recommend one or more of the following:

Watchful waiting
Ice or heat
Lifestyle changes
Physical therapy
Stretching
Bracing
Medications
Corticosteroid injections
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
Radiofrequency ablation
Spinal cord stimulation
Spinal manipulation
Orthopedic spine surgery

If you’re in good health with no obvious signs of a problem, you don’t need treatment. However, call the Synchrony Medical Group office to schedule routine physicals or book an evaluation if you develop pain or unusual symptoms of a musculoskeletal injury.
