Should I take pain killers prior to my visit with you?

Many patients feel that analgesics 'deaden their symptoms' and make our job more difficult. However our Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Acupuncturists are all experienced in the process of patient assessment, so if you've been prescribed pain relieving drugs, it should not preclude an effective diagnosis and treatment. It is however, always useful to bring along details of the drugs you've been prescribed, as it will help us assess how much pain may have been 'deadened'!

Nb. The same is not true of alcohol - it might help deaden pain but it also dulls the ability to describe a condition properly!
