Chronic Pain: What You Should Know About Your Treatment Options

Chronic Pain can lead to depression, addictions, anxiety, stress, isolation, and even suicide. Over 116 million people suffer from various types of chronic pain disorders ranging from fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, neuropathy, back, hip and neck pain, just to name a few. Whether trauma or degenerative diseases have caused your pain, the consensus is usually the same; people want their pain to go away. But how do you know that the options you’ve been given are right for you?

An effective pain doctor uses all available treatments in a combined or multimodal approach. This means combining holistic treatments, medical therapies, physical therapy, and procedures to reach the desired goals and results of the patient.

Our providers at Excel Pain and Spine pride themselves on being trained and experts in the field of interventional pain. Interventional pain is the use of procedures to reduce pain and reduce the need for opioid medications.

Our clinic, Excel Pain and Spine, was founded with one principle in mind – to provide the best possible care to patients above all else.
We do this by providing access to the latest treatments (traditionally only available at large medical institutions) and delivering them in our local community as part of individualized treatment plans crafted with the patient’s best interest in mind.

Excel Pain and Spine has four double boarded pain physicians to treat your specific needs and to custom tailor a plan that’s right for you.

More Options Than Just Opioids
A myth is that pain management doctors only prescribe opioids. Providers can try many other well-studied medications for pain, including membrane stabilizers, antidepressants, anti-Inflammatories, and muscle relaxers.

Opioid medications have multiple risks and side effects, including constipation, sleep disorders, osteoporosis, sexual dysfunction, and accidental overdose. A pain management physician judicially uses these medications only when appropriate and carries out the proper management and monitoring to ensure safe use.

Interventional therapies prescribed by pain management doctors include spinal and joint injections, nerve blocks and ablations, regenerative medicine injections, minimally invasive spinal implants, and nerve stimulators to block pain signals.

Pain management doctors aid with the coordination of care and referrals with other treating specialties, including physical therapists, chiropractors, surgeons, and primary care providers. Many patients who can gain relief from a pain management doctor have had surgery and continue to have pain, or patients who cannot have surgery and must find other avenues for relief.

The practice of pain management has evolved over the last 20 years. Board-certified pain management doctors are equipped to manage the full scope of new and old injuries or syndromes causing pain. These doctors have the unique ability to combine a vast array of treatments and therapies with to improve a patient’s quality of life. Any patient suffering from pain and not getting the relief they need should consider evaluation with a pain management doctor.
