What is Pain Management?

Pain management, or pain medicine, is a growing medical specialty dedicated to treating acute, sub-acute, and chronic pain. The goal of pain medicine is to improve quality of life and help patients return to everyday activities, ideally without surgery. 

Is Pain Management for You?

Many people can control their pain effectively with over-the-counter or prescription medications or treatments offered by their physician(s). When pain cannot be managed using these methods, a pain specialist should be consulted. For most people in constant moderate to severe pain, pain management is a way to regain function and improve quality of life.

How Can Injections Help?

Injections for pain serve 2 purposes: first to diagnose or confirm the souce/cause of pain, and the second is to reduce or relieve the source of inflammation/pain.
