Identifying what causes your pain is the first step in determining treatment. Its origin may also be hereditary. It can be localized or felt all over, and stabbing or throbbing in nature. Headaches are treated with a variety of modalities including diet, medications, physical therapy and biofeedback. Chronic pain patients including patients suffering from back and neck pain, cancer pain, shingles, neuropathic pain, myofacial pain, and RSD are evaluated and treated by board-certified anesthesiologists specializing in pain management.
Treatments employed include nerve blocks, drug therapy, and implantation therapy.
Once you've been evaluated by a pain management specialist, treatment to alleviate your pain may include medication, exercise, dietary recommendations, physical therapy, nerve blocks or other anesthetics, and relaxation techniques. Your treatment plan may last from a few weeks to several months. Through our pain management programs, we can develop a treatment plan tailored to meet your individual needs. We also can teach you how to cope with your pain and modify your lifestyle accordingly.
