Pain Management
Overview
Pain management is the medicine of helping treat and reduce the symptoms of chronic and acute pain. This pain can stem from surgery, injury, migraines, or other factors. Our pain physicians use techniques such as injections, stimulation, life style changes, and exercise to help alleviate the recurrence of pain. They work closely with your medical provider in helping to obtain the best outcome for you.
Although some types of pain cannot be completely eliminated, pain management is an excellent resource in helping to alleviate pain and allowing you to cope and enjoy your life.
Did you know?
One-half of all working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed work. In fact, back pain is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor's office, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections.
Most cases of back pain are mechanical or non-organic; meaning they are not caused by serious conditions such as inflammatory arthritis, infection, fracture, or cancer.
Americans spend at least $50 Billion each year on back pain - and that's just for the more easily identified costs.
Experts estimate that ad many as 80% of the population will experience a back problem at some time in our lives.
