Pain Management

Recently updated

Acute pain strikes suddenly, usually as a result of a sports injury or other trauma. Hence, diagnosing and treating it is relatively simple. However, the source of your ache isn’t always obvious. In such cases, a trained pain medicine doctor with professional detection skills is required. There are three types of pain: chronic, acute, and cancer. Sometimes a combination of pain disorders may cause your discomfort. In addition to obvious trauma and a cancer diagnosis, the source of your problem may be complex, such as:

• Ache following a surgical procedure, such as back surgery that leaves you with post-laminectomy syndrome
• Nerve damage that occurs due to a pinched nerve in your back or neck
• Underlying medical conditions like arthritis and diabetes that leave you with persistent pain

Because of the nature of pain, which can be obvious or referred from another source, you must seek a diagnosis and treatment from true experts and specialists in the relevant field. Redefine Healthcare’s board-certified physicians, and knowledgeable staff will be an excellent choice for you. They have the experience, technology, and skills to identify the source of the problem and create a pain treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Our compassionate and experienced medical team brings a wealth of experience to the care and treatment of back pain. Pain in the back is the most common cause of disability and absence from work. Your situation, however, is unique, and we will treat it as such at Redefine Healthcare. One of our physicians will carefully examine you and listen to your symptoms and concerns before recommending the best pain management course.

As pain management experts, our doctors diagnose and treat all conditions affecting your back, including:

• Upper back pain that often includes ache in your shoulders or limiting neck pain
• Lower back pain is the most common source of back discomfort and often includes pain that radiates to your legs, knees, hips, and joints
• Back injuries that may lead to a herniated disc, a pulled muscle, a compression fracture, or a pinched nerve
• Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic condition that requires ongoing chronic pain management. It often occurs due to pain referred from somewhere else in your body
• Spondylolisthesis, a condition common among athletes

Piriformis syndrome, which causes discomfort when you do nothing more than sit, stand, or walk up and downstairs

Because some of the lower or upper back pain symptoms are symptoms of more severe conditions, you should consult your local specialist or our experienced team of pain treatment physicians led by Dr. Freeman if they worsen.
