Persistent pain is difficult to treat when its source is unclear. At Epic Pain Management, our diagnostic and evaluation services are designed to identify the structures or conditions contributing to your symptoms so your care can be planned more precisely.
Our San Antonio pain specialists evaluate a wide range of concerns, including neck pain, lower back pain, migraine headaches, pelvic pain, joint discomfort, and nerve-related symptoms. Every evaluation considers your medical history, symptoms, previous treatments, physical function, and available diagnostic information.
Pain can develop from irritated nerves, spinal discs, joints, muscles, or other underlying conditions. Because several problems can produce similar symptoms, a thorough evaluation is an important first step.

Neck and lower back pain can result from spinal discs, irritated nerves, facet joints, arthritis, muscle strain, or other conditions. Some patients experience localized discomfort, while others have pain, numbness, or tingling that travels into the arms or legs.
Your evaluation may include a review of your symptoms, physical examination findings, previous treatment results, and available imaging. In selected cases, a discogram or another diagnostic procedure may provide additional information about the source of the pain.
Once the likely cause has been identified, your provider can discuss treatment options that address your specific condition.
Your appointment may include a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, daily limitations, and prior care. Your provider may also evaluate your strength, range of motion, sensation, reflexes, posture, or areas of tenderness.
Available imaging or test results may be reviewed during the evaluation. When additional information is needed, your provider may recommend diagnostic testing, a targeted procedure, or consultation with another specialist.
After the evaluation, we will explain the findings and discuss appropriate next steps. Your plan may include pain management procedures, medication management, rehabilitation, lifestyle recommendations, further testing, or a combination of treatments.
