What to Expect from the
Center for Pain Management
While we know patients are looking for immediate relief from lower and upper back pain, we may order diagnostic testing to confirm a diagnosis prior to recommending treatment.
The first phase is the intense treatment phase. Because our center has a staff of physicians, physical therapists, a psychologist and related medical professionals, we make diagnosis and treatment convenient for patients. The team is all in one place communicating with each other about your needs.
After visiting with a physician who develops a working diagnosis, patients may undergo clinical tests to confirm the diagnosis. A treatment plan is developed. This plan may include interventional procedures such as epidural steroid injections, facet injections or other nerve block procedures, as well as medications, physical therapy, education and/or visits with our psychologist. We expect our patients to actively participate in their treatments.
Ongoing medication management is considered when persistent problems interfere with a patient’s ability to work, care for family and enjoy life. If a patient’s therapy involves continued narcotic medication, we require an appointment with a physician every 28 days to monitor the safety and effectiveness of the medication.
