Pain Management

The value of pain management services

Pain has far-reaching effects. But appropriate pain management can improve your patient’s life in the following ways:

• Increased mobility
• Enhanced mental health
• Improved quality of life
• Enriched social experiences
• Expanded participation in daily activities

Pain can rob your patients of meaningful moments, professional ambition and peaceful sleep. But, effective pain management strategies provide hope. These interventions help your patients get back to the life they love.

Traditional pain management

Traditional pain management uses pharmaceuticals and offers a viable solution to urgent problems. However, these strategies must be managed with the utmost consideration. We take a conservative approach to traditional pain management. Our specialists strive to reduce pain while also considering the potential long-term effects.

Certain antidepressants and anticonvulsants are proven to reduce chronic and neuropathic pain. Additionally, we have observed incredible results from using NSAIDs and the ERAS protocol. That’s why we take a holistic approach to pharmaceutical pain management and use opioids when necessary.

Interventional pain management

Interventional pain management targets the pain at its source. It uses image-guided techniques and minimally invasive procedures. We are proud to offer the following interventional pain management approaches:

• Targeted injections: Precise medication delivery can reduce inflammation and prevent pain signaling.
• Nerve blocks: These medications numb and inhibit pain signals from a compressed nerve.
• Radiofrequency ablation: This technique utilizes heat energy to disable the nerve’s pain signals.
• Pain pumps: These implanted devices deliver medication directly into the spinal fluid.
• Spinal cord stimulation: These implantable devices use adjustable electrical currents to disrupt pain signaling. Patients alter the electrical currents using a handheld device.

With these innovative strategies, pain specialists boast improved results with fewer side effects.

Chronic pain management

Chronic pain lasts three months or more. Approximately 52 million individuals report chronic pain. Some common causes include:

• Nerve damage
• Arthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Autoimmune disorders
• Injury
• Headaches
• Cancer

No two patient’s pain experience is precisely the same. That’s why patients with chronic pain need a personalized plan. For many of these patients, a single approach is not sufficient. They require a more thorough strategy.

Managing chronic pain requires a multidisciplinary approach. By combining diverse treatments, patients maximize their results. We utilize a variety of treatment modalities to address the multifaceted aspects of chronic pain.
