The right information can lead patients to seek a pain doctor at the right time to prevent acute pain from turning to chronic and to seek freedom from pain that prevents them from leading a normal life.
Chronic back pain can lead to problems in patients’ personal and professional life. Careful attention to pain management is vital for recovery.
EARLIER IS BETTER IN PAIN TREATMENT
There were no standardized approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of pain till recently. Only a few diagnoses are straightforward, such as spinal tumors or fractures. But for most spine conditions, diagnosis and treatment is not simple.
A number of factors such as the onset and severity of pain, patient’s medical history, diagnostics and lifestyle need to be considered to create and efficient treatment plan. So it is important for you to seek help for pain as early as possible.
PAIN IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE
The experience of pain is different for each patient and the effectiveness of a particular treatment may differ from one person to another. It is important to remember that it may be necessary to try several treatments or doses before you find what works best for you.
A personalized approach to understand the underlying condition and design a treatment plan keeping each patient’s unique history, diagnostics and lifestyle is at the core of pain medicine. To do so, the pain doctors in Arizona work closely with you for successful outcomes.
ACUTE AND CHRONIC PAIN ARE DIFFERENT
As opposed to acute pain, the level and extent of chronic pain does not reflect the extent of tissue damage. For instance, severely degenerated discs may not hurt as much as discs with little degeneration which can produce severe pain. An accurate diagnosis about the level and nature of your pain is indispensable for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
PAIN MEDICINE IS A SPECIALTY
Pain doctors in Arizona are Fellowship trained in pain management. They are experts in minimally invasive interventional treatments and medication management. These treatments aid faster and painless recovery with long term relief.
