PAIN MANAGEMENT

PAIN MANAGEMENT
The first step in effective pain management is scheduling an appointment with our facility to determine the cause of your pain and learn which pain management approach that will be most effective for you. Whether you have acute pain from a traumatic injury or chronic pain from an occupational injury or previous traumatic injury, our medical staff will determine the best possible approach during your initial consultation.
Chronic pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain as “a persistent pain that is not amenable, as a rule, to treatments based upon specific remedies or to the routine methods of pain control.” It’s a serious medical condition that may greatly affect people leaving them unable to work, maintain relationships, or participate in daily tasks.
Some of the most common injuries that we provide a multidisciplinary approach to pain management are;
