Pain
Syndromes
We are often asked to aid in Chronic Pain syndromes by
performing various nerve blocks, epidural injections,
sacroiliac joint injections, insertion of implant able devices,
etc. which may diagnose and treat Pain syndromes. Many of the
patients have had Pain syndromes for many years, and have seen
many doctors before. Often, patients feel frustrated by the
time of their referral to our Pain Center. This is normal.
Living with Chronic Pain can be frustrating and depressing. We
want to help you change that!
How Can We Help?
Please come to your first visit with an open mind. Most of you
have had extensive tests and doctor visits previously. Please
realize that Pain syndromes, which have lasted for years, will
not be “cured” overnight. There is rarely one quick
solution. More commonly, it will take the combined effort of
you, your doctors, and your family to improve your daily
functioning. Long-standing Pain syndromes often need intense,
ongoing therapy. Our goal is to help you gain control back of
your life and activities.
Your first visit
Copies of your referral and tests and any other pertinent
medical information must be available before the time of your
first visit. A board-certified Anesthesiologist and Pain
expert will review all data. During your initial evaluation a
detailed interview and physical exam will be taken. It will
provide much of the information needed to develop a treatment
program. We will discuss with you what options we feel are
possible. |
