Pain Management
Pain Management
Pain can have many possible sources, including nerve irritation, joint problems, muscle strain, or an injury from an accident. In general, pain management focuses on evaluating the likely cause of pain and discussing treatments that may help reduce discomfort and support daily function. At Complete Care, this evaluation is led by a Provider on our team.
Evaluating the Source of Pain
A diagnosis is an important starting point for a pain management plan. Depending on the case, your Provider may use electrodiagnostic testing and imaging review as part of the evaluation before recommending treatment.
- EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies — may help assess whether a nerve or muscle problem is contributing to pain.
- Diagnostic Ultrasound — may be used to image soft tissue.
- Digital Radiology Review Systems — used to review X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans.
Treatment Options
Depending on the evaluation, a treatment plan may include:
- Fluoroscopy-Guided Injections — injections performed with imaging guidance, when injection therapy is considered appropriate.
- TENS & Electrical Stimulation Therapy — a modality that may be used to help manage pain.
- Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy — a modality sometimes used as part of muscle and joint care.
Results vary from patient to patient.
