Pain Management Goals

Whatever the cause, pain can have many negative effects on your daily life. Pain Management is all about reducing the adverse effects of pain on your life and lifestyle in the following areas:

• Your ability to perform normal daily activities (sleeping, eating, general care)

• Your ability to function adequately on the job

• Your ability to perform leisure activities

Common Pain Conditions Treated at a Pain Management Clinic

Your primary care physician can refer you to a Pain Management Clinic if your conditions warrants it. The following common pain conditions are treated by most Pain Management Clinic's:

• Persistent back or neck pain
• Headache
• Shingles
• Leg or arm pain
• Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
• Work-related injuries
• Pain related to diabetes, vascular disease or post-surgical neuropathy
• Multiple Sclerosis, stroke or cerebral palsy
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome
• Cancer pain
• Abdominal or pelvic pain

Reduction of Pain

Science may one day come up with a one size fits all pain solution to eliminate everyone's pain completely, but this is not possible at the present through any Pain clinic or pain management physician. They can help reduce the effect pain has on your life, and bring you information about pain treatment and pain relief products that may improve your pain scale by 1% to 50%, but this is their best day...count on it.

Treatments Pain Management Clinics Use
To Manage Pain

The type of pain treatment physicians recommend at these clinics will depend on the cause of your pain and the impact pain is having on your life. Pain Management Clinics combine the expertise of physicians, psychologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, exercise physiologists, social workers and nutritionists to help each individual achieve maximum pain comfort and control. They can help, try them out...but you can't spend your life in their care and their clinic's. Your best bet is to take charge of your pain and pain management by finding what works and also what doesn't work relative to your current painful condition.

Be advised that many treatments recommended to you for pain may include injections of local anesthetics and cortisone, nerve blocks, medication management, behavior therapy, cryoanalgesia (nerve freezing), nerve stimulation or implantable medication pumps. We think there are plenty of pain relief products on the market that are a little more tolerable for all of us than the above draconian pain regimens and methods. MAKE SURE you are well aware of the side and potential addictive side affects of any of the above treatments. In the end, you are accountable and responsible for your own pain and pain relief remedy.

Medication for Pain Relief

The management of chronic pain is sometimes achieved through the use of narcotic and non-narcotic medication. In these instances, you are monitored very closely for their effectiveness and side effects. In certain instances, medication may be delivered through an implantable pump or by a spinal cord stimulator. The key is to make sure you understand what is recommeded and why. You are in charge of your own pain management...no-one else can make this decision but you.

Special Medical Pain Conditions

The physician/nurse practitioner who evaluates you will discuss the relationship between your medical condition and your pain problem. Special instructions for patients with diabetes and other medical conditions requiring daily medications will be discussed on your first visit to the clinic. Make sure you clearly understand what is being said and recommended about your specific pain condition. Get it in writing and do a little research before you dive in...if it's too deep find out before you dive in...not afterwards when it is a little too late to change your mind.
