Answer
Pain management generally encompasses a variety of techniques to be used in combination over time to manage your pain. When seeking pain management, it is important to know that there are no quick fixes when it comes to pain. Pain management is simply, what it is called, pain management. Therefore, your pain will most likely not be curable, but with treatment it can be managed.
Question Why is pain management important? Answer Unrelieved pain can be harmful, especially when you are sick or after surgery. Pain can make it difficult to take a deep breath and interferes with your ability to move and walk, which can result in additional complications. Question Who benefits from pain management? Answer People suffering from acute (short-term) pain, which generally results from an injury or surgery and disappears once the body is healed; people suffering from chronic (long-term) pain, which does not always have a clear cut origin or a visible end; people suffering from cancer pain or pain after surgery. No matter what the source of your pain is, it can be managed with appropriate treatment. Question What treatment options does Center for Pain Management offer? Answer The Center offers interventional therapy such as epidural steroid injections, trigger point and Botox injections, nerve blocks, implantation therapies, radiofrequency denervation, intradiscal electrotherapy treatment, and spinal endoscopy; physical therapy; behavioral treatment such as biofeedback, individual therapy, group therapy, relaxation techniques, nutritional and medication management education; medical acupuncture; and diagnostics such as discograms, myelograms, fluoroscopy, and sensory nerve conduction velocity tests. Question Does Center for Pain Management offer any additional services? Answer The Center also offers disability evaluations such as functional capacity evaluations (FCE), independent medical evaluations (IME), and impairment ratings; I/V infusion therapy and manipulation under anesthesia. Question When should a person seek treatment for chronic pain? Answer
It is strongly suggested that a person seek treatment for chronic pain after nonspecific treatments have failed to minimize the pain and before a person begins to experience stress from the pain.
Question How much pain reduction can I expect? Answer The amount of pain reduction varies from patient to patient. Typically, a patient will receive 50% to 100% reduction in pain throughout the pain management treatment. Unfortunately, chronic pain treatments will reduce your pain symptoms, but it will not eliminate them completely. Question Are there psychological effects of chronic pain? Answer Yes, chronic pain may produce feelings of anger, sadness, hopelessness, and even despair. Chronic pain can alter a person's personality, disrupt sleep, interfere with work and relationships, and can even have a profound effect on other family members. Question What can I expect on my first visit to the Center? Answer On your first visit, a complete medical history and physical exam will be performed and evaluation of your symptoms will be taken and a discussion of the treatment options available to you will be fully explained. Question Will my insurance be accepted? Answer We accept Medicare, Medicaid, Worker's Compensation, personal injury, and private insurance. Coverage for pain treatment varies. Be sure to contact you insurance provider to find out what services are covered.
