Our Pain Management Services Include:

    • Acetaminophen & Other Analgesics: For mild to moderate pain relief, we prescribe over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
    • Opioid Therapy (When Necessary): In severe cases, opioid medications may be prescribed on a short-term basis under strict supervision to manage intense pain.
    • Topical Analgesics: Gels, creams, and patches that provide localized relief for joint and muscle pain.

2. Injections & Procedures

    • Corticosteroid Injections: These injections help reduce inflammation and provide relief for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and joint pain.
    • Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Used for joint lubrication, particularly in cases of osteoarthritis, to reduce pain and improve mobility.
    • Nerve Blocks & Radiofrequency Ablation: Targeting specific nerves to block pain signals or reduce inflammation, offering long-term relief from chronic pain.
    • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: A cutting-edge therapy where growth factors from your blood are injected into painful areas to promote healing and reduce pain.
    • Botox Injections for Chronic Pain: Used to treat chronic pain conditions such as migraines or muscle spasms, Botox can relax affected muscles and ease pain.

3. Non-Medical Pain Management

    • Physical Therapy: Customized exercise programs designed to strengthen muscles, improve joint function, and alleviate pain caused by injury or conditions like arthritis.
    • Heat and Cold Therapy: Applying heat or cold to affected areas can reduce inflammation, relax muscles, and provide pain relief.
    • TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): A non-invasive therapy that uses electrical impulses to reduce pain and promote muscle relaxation.
    • Massage Therapy: Therapeutic massage helps improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce pain, especially in the back, neck, and shoulders.

4. Advanced Pain Management Techniques

    • Spinal Cord Stimulation: A device is implanted near the spinal cord to send electrical impulses that block pain signals from reaching the brain.
    • Intrathecal Pump Therapy: A pump is implanted under the skin to deliver pain medications directly to the spinal cord, providing targeted pain relief for chronic conditions.
    • Regenerative Medicine: Techniques like stem cell therapy and PRP to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote healing in painful areas.
