Understanding your concerns
Persistent pain calls for a broader view
Back pain can have several causes. A herniated disc, sciatica or degenerative changes may be present, but the name of a finding is not enough to explain every pain. Duration, symptom pattern and limitations in daily life also matter.
Daily mobility
Which positions, transitions and activities trigger your pain?
Radiating pain
Does the pain stay in your back or extend into your buttock and leg?
Abilities to regain
Which movement or activity would you most like to return to?
Preparing a useful question
Note a specific example: walking duration, time spent sitting, difficulty bending or waking at night. A concrete measure helps explain what has changed and track progress without relying only on a pain score.
A visit in your area
Chronic back pain and working days in Montreal
For your Mont-Royal appointment, outline a typical day: time at your desk, travel, breaks and evening activities. Bring information about any adjustments you have already tried. The aim is to understand your practical constraints before discussing a care schedule.
Before selecting a Medexa time slot, check the Montreal address and hours. If you are travelling from another part of the island, plan your route from your starting point rather than relying on an approximate travel time. Describe any positions or travel that cause problems so you can prepare for a visit suited to your situation.
First consultation
Preparing clear, useful records
Clear records make discussion easier. You do not need to write a lengthy history: the main milestones, available documents and a few priority questions provide a useful starting point.
- Available imaging reports and their dates.
- A list of treatments you have tried, including benefits and difficulties.
- Relevant medical history, previous procedures and current treatments.
- The activities you would like to return to, along with travel or scheduling constraints.
If you have not had imaging, do not delay asking for information for that reason alone. Whether an examination is needed depends on your situation; booking an appointment does not constitute a prescription for new imaging.
Care options
Where does spinal decompression fit in?
Clinique TAGMED offers spinal decompression among its services. The consultation provides an opportunity to discuss whether it may be appropriate for your situation, the precautions to consider and other care options.
The objectives of any follow-up are based on your symptoms and abilities. The number of sessions, frequency of visits and reassessment criteria cannot be determined from a single term on an MRI report. Benefits and limitations should be explained before you make a decision.
Care may involve complementary approaches or coordination with the professionals already treating you. A technique is not suitable for everyone and does not guarantee that an imaging finding will disappear or that every patient will have the same outcome.

Defining an observable outcome
With your care professional, choose one or two useful measures: an activity you can tolerate better, easier travel or less discomfort during the day. Follow-up should allow you to discuss changes and adjust the approach if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does chronic pain always mean a herniated disc?
No. Back pain can have different causes. Your history, examination and existing documents help establish the context rather than automatically attributing the pain to a disc.
Can I bring reports from treatments I have already tried?
Yes. Prepare a short timeline covering the types of care, duration, benefits and difficulties. This avoids starting from scratch and helps clarify what you expect from the consultation.
What goal should I choose for my first visit?
A practical goal is useful: walking longer, sitting more comfortably or returning to an activity. The choice and pace of progress are discussed according to your situation.
Where does the Montreal consultation take place?
