Pain management is a very in-depth process that involves a thorough evaluation of an individual's pain condition. The first step in the pain management process is to identify what’s exactly causing the pain. This may involve a variety of diagnostic tests, like imaging studies, nerve conduction studies, blood tests, and other specialized testing. Once a healthcare professional identifies the underlying cause of the pain, they will then develop a detailed treatment plan over time so that a patient can get back to living life again and enjoy daily activities. A pain management plan normally involves a mix of things, like lifestyle changes with better diet and exercise, physical therapy, interventional procedures, and medication management. Medications that are commonly used in pain management include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and anticonvulsants. Physical therapy can help to improve range of motion and strength, while interventional procedures, such as nerve blocks or spinal cord stimulation, can help to alleviate pain. It is also important to address any psychological or emotional factors that may be contributing to the individual's pain. This may include counseling, stress management techniques, and support groups. Overall, the pain management process is designed for an individual’s specific needs with the goal of having them improve their function and quality of life for the long-term.
