Pain Management------12

Pain management is a specialized medical approach focused on diagnosing, treating, and alleviating various types of acute and chronic pain to improve a patient’s quality of life. This multidisciplinary treatment is tailored to the individual and may include medications, physical therapy, nerve blocks, injections, and minimally invasive procedures.

Common conditions treated under pain management include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, rotator cuff injuries, post-surgical pain, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, and chronic back and neck pain. It also addresses pain arising from joint degeneration, muscle strain, fractures, and inflammatory conditions.

Treatment techniques include oral medications, intra-articular injections, trigger point injections, epidural steroid injections, nerve root blocks, physiotherapy, and lifestyle guidance. Pain specialists often work alongside orthopedic surgeons and physiotherapists to develop comprehensive plans that reduce discomfort while restoring functionality.

Pain management is not just about symptom relief but about restoring mobility, preventing further complications, and enhancing overall wellbeing. It is especially beneficial for patients who are not immediate candidates for surgery or are in post-operative recovery.
