Pain is the body`s way to communicate with us. But chronic pain can be exhausting, frustrating and debilitating.
The pain clinic we offer uses an approach that is bio-psycho-social to help patients to manage their pain. This includes physiotherapy, medication and low-invasive pain management procedures. Oral or intravenously administered medications are readily available.
The Services
The pain can be intense, chronic or a combination of both. Sleep, mood, energy health, quality of living and sleep all can be affected by pain. The specialists in pain management provide medical and therapeutic ways to reduce pain and improve patients` quality of life.
Multi-disciplinary pain management can be used to take care of the patient in all its aspects and allow them to be back to their normal routine in the shortest time possible. They offer physiotherapy, medication and surgery, and non-surgical procedures such as needle acupuncture and nerve blocks.
They have highly rated doctors who are acknowledged by Castle Connolly as Top Doctors. They have the most up-to-date equipment from reputable manufacturers of medical equipment, like 3M GE and Siemens. They also have affiliations with hospitals, which means they will continue to provide care should you need to be hospitalized. You can rest assured that you`ll receive the most effective treatment.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a crucial component in treating chronic pain as it helps improve physical mobility as well as ease muscle tension and aid in the restoration of normal sleep patterns. It is also used to combat anxiety and depression that can be a cause or make pain worse.
The best choice is to find a clinic which utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to the management of pain. A physical therapist can help you identify and treat your mobility issues and offer the best exercise recommendations. They may recommend Pilates or Yoga Tai Chi, Tai Chi, or Swimming as effective exercises to decrease the pain and improve your overall health.
It is important to find a pain clinic which offers both psychological therapy (such as therapy, counselling and relaxation techniques) as well as physical therapy. This can help to reduce anxiety and depression, which can worsen your pain and negatively impact your quality of life. Keep a pain journal to keep track of your pain and its effects.
Pain Management
It is part of your body`s natural communication system. It can be caused by injuries, illnesses, or other conditions. It can be short-lived and goes away once the injury is healed (acute pain) or last for months and years and dramatically impact health (chronic pain). Pain specialists manage pain through medications, procedures, and exercises.
An expert in pain management will spend the initial appointment with you gaining an understanding of the nature of your pain and its particulars. They`ll typically require you to score your pain on a scale and explain it, while paying attention to the symptoms. Do remember to see a - if you are unsure! Don`t save this kind of money.
Physical examinations will be conducted, where they`ll press and move the affected area. To assess the extent of pain, they may do blood tests or take x-rays. Based on the results of their tests, as well as their personal experience they`ll give you a rough or “working” diagnosis.
