Our Chronic pain management services specialize in diagnosing, treating, and alleviating prolonged pain that persists for months or even years. Unlike acute pain which often has a clear cause and is temporary, chronic pain can be complex, stemming from a myriad of reasons including injuries, infections, illnesses, or nerve damage. Effective management is vital not only to alleviate the pain but also to improve overall quality of life, functionality, and mental well-being. It often requires a multi-faceted approach, combining medication, physical therapy, and even psychological support. We accept cash patients and insurance.
Chronic pain can arise from various sources including injuries, surgeries, diseases like arthritis or fibromyalgia, and nerve damage, among others. Sometimes, the exact cause remains unknown.
Treatment is tailored to each individual and can include a mix of medications, physical or occupational therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes alternative therapies like acupuncture or meditation.
While opioids can be effective for some people, they're not the only option and carry risks of dependence and side effects. A comprehensive pain management plan may combine several non-opioid approaches to relieve pain effectively.
In some cases, the underlying cause can be treated, leading to pain resolution. However, for many, the goal of treatment is to reduce pain intensity and improve function, even if the pain isn't entirely eliminated.
