For patients & attorneys
Who We Help
Patients and the attorneys who represent them start from different places. The same team supports both.
Lawyers and law firms
Personal injury firms seeking coordinated scheduling, clinically grounded documentation, and a clear point of contact for clients who may need interventional pain care.
Injured patients
Drivers, passengers, injured workers, and anyone living with long-standing spine or joint pain, treated the same way whether you arrive through an attorney, an insurer, or on your own.
Conditions

Treatments
Pain Management Treatments We Offer
Four image-guided procedures, chosen based on where your pain actually originates.
Our process
How Our Pain Management Process Works
A four-stage care pathway that adapts to the patient's diagnosis, clinical needs, and referral context.
Evaluate
A specialist reviews your history, mechanism of injury, and imaging, then examines you to narrow down which structure is generating the pain.
Diagnose
Where the source is unclear, a level-specific diagnostic block can help identify which structure is contributing to the pain.
Treat
The clinician recommends an appropriate non-surgical or minimally invasive option based on the diagnosis, examination, imaging, and prior care.
Reassess
Follow-up measures what changed in pain scores, range of motion, and function, and the plan is adjusted accordingly.
Your visit
What Patients Can Expect
What an evaluation, procedure visit, and follow-up plan may include. Your clinician will explain the details for your care.
First visit
Evaluation
The clinician reviews symptoms, injury history, prior care, and available imaging before discussing appropriate next steps.
Procedure day
Outpatient
Check-in, treatment, and observation requirements vary by procedure and the patient's clinical needs.
Comfort
Procedure-specific
The care team explains positioning, medication, transportation, and preparation instructions before treatment.
Follow-up
As recommended
Reassessment timing depends on the procedure, response to treatment, and the clinician's care plan.
Beyond the procedure
Supporting Recovery and Daily Function
Relief from a procedure is only part of recovery. Follow-up visits measure pain, range of motion, and function, and the plan is adjusted to what actually changed.
Instructions before and after treatment
The care team explains preparation, positioning, transportation, and what to expect after the procedure.
Reassessment at follow-up
Pain scores, range of motion, and function are measured again, and the plan is adjusted to your response.
Work restrictions in writing
Documented work and activity restrictions when clinically appropriate, for your employer, insurer, or attorney.
Referral when another specialty is needed
If the findings call for physical therapy or another specialty, the clinician explains the referral.
Referral & intake
Our Attorney Referral and Intake Process
Five steps from referral intake through evaluation and case communication, with timing confirmed for each client.
1
Send the referral
Submit the referral form on the For Attorneys page, or call or email the team, with the client's name, your contact details, and the signed LOP if one applies.
2
Intake review
The referral team reviews the request and identifies any records, case details, or authorization information needed before scheduling.
3
Scheduling
The team follows up with your office to arrange the evaluation and confirms current availability based on location and clinical need.
4
Evaluation and treatment plan
The client is evaluated by a specialist, imaging is reviewed or ordered, and a documented treatment plan is created.
5
Case communication
The legal team can request available clinical records and contact GTOA for status information at relevant stages of care.
Records
Medical Documentation and Case Communication
The types of clinical documentation that may be available and how to request case information.
Initial evaluation report
History, mechanism of injury, examination findings, diagnosis, and the proposed treatment plan.
Imaging correlation
MRI, CT, and X-ray findings tied explicitly to the client's reported symptoms and physical examination.
Clinical correlation
When clinically appropriate, documentation may discuss how the reported incident, findings, and pre-existing conditions relate.
Procedure reports and pain scores
Fluoroscopic confirmation, level treated, medication used, and documented pre- and post-procedure pain scores.
Future care recommendations
The clinician may document additional evaluation, treatment, or follow-up that should be considered.
How requests are handled
Scheduling and records timing depend on location, clinical need, record availability, and clinician review. The team confirms the next step for each request.
