What is a pain management specialist?

A pain management specialist, also referred to as a pain specialist or a pain doctor, is a doctor of osteopathy (D.O.) or a medical doctor (M.D.) specializing in pain medicine. This medical specialty focuses on the assessment, treatment, prevention and management of pain.

A qualified pain doctor is the professional you need if you are looking for long-term relief from pain. A consultation with a pain management specialist is necessary if:

  • Your current pain treatment program is no longer effective.
  • You have an illness that is causing the pain.
  • Acute pain has elevated to chronic pain.
  • The pain is affecting your everyday life.

How do you treat chronic pain?

The most effective treatment for chronic pain begins with a thorough evaluation that identifies the reasons for your symptoms. Along with a thorough exam and discussion of your symptoms, our team performs a series of painless diagnostic studies that may include blood tests to check for vitamin deficiencies or abnormal immune responses, and electrodiagnostic studies to measure the electrical activity of your nerves and muscles.

Whether your pain is due to nerve damage after a surgery or injury, or the result of systemic issues such as diabetes, our team then develops a treatment strategy that’s designed for your unique situation.

As part of your therapy, for instance, one of our medical team members, may recommend tighter control of your diabetes to decrease the risk of worsening peripheral neuropathy, the result of damage to the nerves outside the spinal cord (peripheral nerves) and brain. Left unchecked, this form of diabetic neuropathy may lead to major complications such as diabetic foot ulcers, gangrene (tissue death) and autonomic cardiovascular neuropathy.

The team may also include physical therapy, nutritional counseling, and Nerve Regenerating Therapy as part of your program.

Physical therapy can be a great help in your effort to treat chronic pain. We’ll provide a customized program to help improve your overall health and well-being. This type of treatment is highly beneficial, as it helps you to:

  • Eliminate or reduce pain – Therapeutic exercises help alleviate chronic pain and restore joint and muscle function.
  • Improve mobility – Exercises that stretch and strengthen the body help restore full mobility.
  • Manage diabetes and vascular conditions – We may include exercise as part of your overall diabetes management plan to help you effectively regulate blood sugar.

If we feel that nutritional counseling is the best solution for you, we will provide you with a dietary plan that will help improve your overall health. Our team will provide you with support and educational materials to help you meet and maintain the required dietary changes.

What is Nerve Regenerating Therapy?

Nerve Regenerating Therapy (NRT) is an effective treatment for damaged or irritated nerves. The therapy utilizes a Pharmaceutical Grade Nutrient Blend delivered via injection to affected areas, followed immediately by carefully controlled electronic signals for long-term relief of chronic pain and other nerve dysfunction.

NRT has no side effects, is very well tolerated by most patients, and leads to a significant reduction in symptoms for 87% of patients who undergo the therapy. The relief provided by NRT offers a solution to chronic pain that enables you to move freely again without the need for strong pain medications or narcotics.
