Pre-Operation Clearance Physicals in Greenacres, FL and Port St. Lucie, FL

At Comprehensive Pain of the Palm Beaches, we understand that many of our patients require surgical procedures as part of their pain management or treatment plans. To ensure the utmost safety and optimal outcomes, we offer pre-operation clearance physicals as an integral part of our comprehensive care.

A pre-operation clearance physical, also called a preoperative assessment or pre-op physical, is a thorough medical evaluation performed before any planned surgical intervention. Our experienced providers conduct these assessments to confirm that you are healthy enough to safely proceed with surgery—whether it’s a pain-relieving procedure performed at our center or another surgical treatment recommended by your healthcare team.

What to Expect During Your Pre-Op Physical:

• Detailed Medical Review: We carefully review your medical history, current medications, allergies, and previous surgical experiences, with a focus on factors that may affect your pain management and recovery.

• Physical Examination: Our providers perform a comprehensive physical examination, including checking your vital signs and evaluating any chronic pain conditions, to ensure all aspects of your health are considered.

• Targeted Testing: Depending on your age, health status, and the nature of your surgery, we may order laboratory tests such as blood work, urinalysis, or an EKG. These tests help us assess the function of your heart, lungs, and other organs and determine any risks related to anesthesia or surgery.

• Specialist Coordination: If necessary, we facilitate referrals to specialists such as cardiologists or pulmonologists to address any underlying conditions that could impact your surgical outcome.

• Pain Management Optimization: As pain specialists, we take extra care to tailor your pre- and post-operative pain management plan, ensuring a smoother recovery and minimizing discomfort.

At Comprehensive Pain, we understand that planning for surgery can be stressful, especially for patients managing chronic pain or complex medical conditions. That’s why we offer thorough pre-operation clearance physicals—also known as preoperative assessments—to ensure you are fully prepared for your upcoming procedure. A pre-operation clearance is designed to evaluate your overall health and determine if you are physically ready for surgery and anesthesia. Our experienced providers will carefully review your medical history, perform a detailed physical examination, and order any necessary laboratory tests or diagnostic studies.

This assessment is especially important for identifying and addressing conditions that may increase your risk during or after surgery. For many of our patients, chronic pain is accompanied by other health concerns, such as diabetes, hypertension, or the need for long-term medications. During your preoperative assessment, our team will work with you to ensure that these conditions are well-controlled before your surgery, helping to reduce the risk of complications and promote a smoother recovery.

Additionally, we will review all medications and supplements you are taking—including pain medications, anti-inflammatories, or nerve agents—to determine if any adjustments are needed before your procedure. Our team is uniquely qualified to help manage your pain regimen safely around the time of surgery, minimizing withdrawal risks and optimizing your comfort. By providing personalized pre-operation clearance services, we help you and your surgical team plan appropriately and make informed decisions about your care. Our goal is to reduce the risk of complications during and after surgery. This is especially important to support you through every step, ensuring the best possible outcome and a safe, comfortable recovery.

At Comprehensive Pain, we understand that many of our patients may require surgical procedures as part of their pain management plan or for unrelated health concerns. That’s why we offer pre-operation clearance physicals—also known as preoperative assessments or pre-anesthesia evaluations—to ensure your safety and well-being before any surgery. Our pre-operation clearance process is designed to determine whether you are healthy enough for your planned procedure and is important for patients with chronic pain conditions, as these often involve complex medical histories and ongoing treatments that can impact surgical outcomes.

If any potential risks are identified during your pre-operation clearance, our providers may recommend additional testing or treatment. Our goal is to ensure that you are medically optimized for surgery, reducing the likelihood of complications and supporting a smooth recovery. At Comprehensive Pain, your safety is our top priority. We are committed to providing thorough, personalized preoperative evaluations to all our patients, so you can approach your surgery with confidence and peace of mind.

At Comprehensive Pain, we understand that many of our patients require surgical procedures as part of their journey to pain relief—whether it’s orthopedic surgery, spine procedures, or other interventions related to chronic pain conditions. Before undergoing any operation, a pre-operation clearance physical (or preoperative assessment) is a critical step in ensuring your safety and optimizing outcomes.

Preoperative clearance is especially important for pain management patients, who often have complex medical histories or chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease. Whether you are preparing for a major procedure like a spine surgery, joint replacement, neurosurgical intervention, or even a minimally invasive pain-relief procedure, a thorough evaluation helps us:

1. Assess your readiness for anesthesia and surgery

2. Identify any health risks or complications related to your chronic pain or its treatment (such as long-term pain medication use)

3. Coordinate care between your pain management team and your surgical team

4. Develop strategies to minimize post-surgical pain and enhance recovery
