Acute pain is typically caused by a minor injury or illness and goes away within a short time. Chronic pain is pain that persists for an extended period. This type of pain is usually the result of significant injury or nerve damage. In some cases, the pain can impact a person’s ability to function in daily life. We customize your treatment plan based on the cause as well as the type of pain you are experiencing.
This varies from person to person and with the type of procedure. During your appointment, your doctor will give you more information about what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.
Absolutely. We want you to be informed about all of your options before making a final decision regarding treatment. During your consultation, the doctor will discuss your history, review your medical records and any previous tests, and discuss your treatment options.
You will be required to bring a designated driver if you have a procedure involving sedation. The sedation can cause grogginess and impaired reaction times, making it unsafe to drive.
We offer a variety of pain management procedures and treatments that help relieve many different types of pain. We are happy to schedule you for a consultation with one of our physicians, so you can get a better idea of our treatment methods and if they will work for you.
In some cases, it can be difficult to pin down the exact cause of chronic pain; however, whether a physical cause is identified or not, the suffering is very real. Pain involves both the mind and the body. Effective pain management must address both the psychological and physical effects that the pain has on your life.
While no treatment is guaranteed to leave you pain free, the vast majority of our patients experience a significant reduction in their pain level and an improved quality of life.
