What
is Pain Management? |
 |
Pain
Management is the act, manner or practice of
managing pain, handling or control of an unpleasant
sensation occurring in varying degrees of severity
as a consequence of injury, disease, or emotional
disorder. Treatment for chronic pain is best
understood and accomplished by a physician
specializing in pain management.

 |
What
Is A Pain Management Facility? |
 |
It
is a facility that specialized in the diagnosis and
treatment of pain problems under the direction of a
Medical Doctor. A
comprehensive history of the pain problem is taken
and a complete physical examination is carried out.
Any available previous medical records are reviewed
and a description of your pain problem is analyzed.
Additional studies, such as X-rays, MRI, CT-scan or
laboratory work may be ordered to assist in
diagnosing the cause of the pain. A treatment plan
is then established that is best for your type of pain.
Modern
medicine is rapidly advancing. There are many types
of treatments available. Pain differs from person to
person, so a treatment plan is designed to each
individual’s needs. Treatment
can include a single approach or a combination of
medications, therapies and/or procedures.

How
To Locate A Pain Management Physician/Facility. |
|
To
locate a pain physician, please visit our Physician Location Directory (Find a Physician). We have listed many physicians
and will continue to update as new physicians
register. Some of the physicians will have a linked
web site where you will be able to find information
regarding location of office/s, hours, types of
treatment available and other related
information.
Please
be cautious of online practices - meaning those who
practice medicine online without ever seeing the
patient in person. In many cases this type of
practice is considered unethical and/or
illegal. Please check with your
state medical board to verify.
Be cautious when ask to give copies of your medical
records to anyone other than a physician's
office.
Avoid
purchasing any drugs from online pharmacies that are
not located in the U.S. Many fake drugs are
being distributed all over the world. Always use
a pharmacy that you are familiar with and trust.
