Your First Pain Management

• By including specific procedures for the
  treatment of chronic pain, pain management is a
  specific area that helps patients with chronic
  pain such as chronic lumbago, neck pain, complex
  regional pain syndromes or muscle pain.

• We appreciate the opportunity to be involved in
  your medical care and work with you to treat your
  pain optimally. The practice of interventionist
  pain management uses a number of methods to treat
  chronic pain because the pain can vary from mild
  to laminate, episodic or continuous and may be
  uncomfortable or completely incompetent.

Goals of Pain Management

• The goal of pain medicine is to treat acute or
  chronic pain by reducing the frequency and
  intensity of the pain. In addition to the
  treatment of pain problems, a multidisciplinary
  pain therapy program can address your functional
  goals for activities in daily life. Overall, a
  painkiller program should provide a sense of
  well-being, increase levels of activity,
  including return to work, and reduce or eliminate
  drug addiction.

Many Types of Pain Treated

• Pain medics treat all types of pain. Acute pain
  is described as severe or acute and may indicate
  that something is wrong. Pain during dental work
  is an example of acute pain. A pain of 6 months
  or more is defined as chronic. This type of pain
  varies from mild to severe and is consistent. The
  pain of spinal arthritis (spondylosis) is often
  chronic. Although chronic pain is difficult to
  manage, the combination of different treatments
  often produces good results.

Pain Doctor Certification

• Pain doctors are required to complete four years
  of intentional education at a college or
  university and four years of medicine, resulting
  in a doctorate in medicine or a doctorate in
  osteopathy. After completing a medical degree,
  physicians in the US must apply for a state
  license to practice medicine in a particular
  state.

Pain Doctor Certification

• Pain specialists can practice in a number of
  medical specialties. They may be certified by
  another professional committee, such as the
  American Board of Physical Medicine
  Rehabilitation, the American Board of Psychiatry
  and Neurology, the American Board of
  Anesthesiology, for the treatment of pain, or may
  be certified by the American Board as a
  painkiller.
