A sudden onset of pain is usually extremely distressing and although we know that cases of there being a serious underlying cause is uncommon, it is still a scary situation to find yourself in.

​

This is why a triage consultation with Hedd prioritises finding ways to reassure you that you are not in need of urgent medical attention - and on the rare occasion that it does indeed seem necessary to direct you to the correct health professional, Hedd can do this with you.

​

A triage appointment involves:

• Getting a picture of your general health

• Getting a history of how the pain has started and developed

• Understanding how the symptoms are behaving and changing

• Performing a focussed examination including orthopaedic and neurological screening tests when necessary

• Explaining to you in clear terms what seems to be the likely cause of your pain

• Giving you opportunity to ask any questions you will have about the diagnosis

• Explaining your options on how best to recover with any relevant advice on specific exercises if appropriate

• Collaborating with you on who you should see if it's felt that you need medical attention

​

Please note that none of this is intended to lead towards recommending or providing any 'treatment'.  The aim of this session is to provide you with everything you need to overcome the problem with as little intervention as possible.
