Pain Management

Pain Management is the specialty concerned with treating chronic and acute pain using a multi-disciplinary approach. Depending upon its severity, options for treating pain may include nerve blocks, electrical stimulation, surgery, physical therapy, exercise, and behavior modification. Regardless of the source of pain, either primary such as headaches, or secondary such as from surgery, the field of pain management treats all of it as a disease and proper pain management is important for ongoing pain control, especially if patients suffer with long-term or chronic pain.
