Pain Management refers to a set of treatments that help relieve pain caused by muscle, joint, or nerve injuries or diseases. Pain management may include manual manipulation methods such as physical therapy, interventional treatments such as spinal injections or corticosteroid shots, or medicinal treatments such as Botox injections for migraine. The treatment prescribed depends on the patient’s condition and pain level.

Common Causes:

Chronic or uncontrolled pain can result from injury, illness, or a surgical procedure. Sometimes the body’s nervous system overreacts, telling the brain pain still exists though the physical injury has healed. At other times, a degenerative condition causes an increase in pain. Pain in the head, neck, and spine often requires pain management care. Other conditions that require the services of a pain management specialist include migraines, arthritis, post-traumatic and postoperative pain, accidents and industrial injuries, cancer pain, and nerve-related conditions.

A manual technique used by therapists to promote proper movements of joints. Each joint in our body has certain movements that need to occur to function properly. Mobilizations can be utilized on patients who have had a recent surgery or injury, as well as patients with arthritic conditions. Joint mobilizations help decrease pain and restore the range of motion to injured joints.

Dry needling is a safe, effective, and relatively pain-free procedure used to treat myofascial and persistent pain. During treatment, a trained practitioner, usually a pain management specialist or a physical therapist, inserts very thin stainless-steel, monofilament needles into trigger points of tight muscles. The needles inject nothing into the body. The treatment helps improve movement and flexibility, relieves pain, reactivates knotted muscles, relieves trigger points, and promotes recovery. Dry needling is not acupuncture, which is a Chinese medicine treatment.

Common Causes:

Dry needling may be an effective treatment for people who suffer from deep persistent pain, joint pain, migraines, tight muscles, tendonitis, or scar tissue. The therapy is not recommended for pregnant women, people who are afraid of needles, or people who take blood-thinning medications.

Orthopedic injuries occur to the musculoskeletal system. This can include injuries related to bones, muscles and tendons. Some examples include: Sprains, strains, fractures, and arthritis, to name a few. Therapists are trained to treat the problems that come with the injury as well as to decrease the risk of re-injury.

Hand therapy is a unique and specialized division of physical therapy treatment aimed at restoring the complex movements of the fingers, hands, wrists, and arms. Often, hand therapy provided by a certified hand therapy specialist is the difference between successful mobility outcomes after injury or surgery and loss of movement.

Causes:

Hand therapy may help reduce pain and increase the range of motion after surgery, illness, stroke, arthritis, or other conditions affecting the nerves of the fingers, hands, and wrists to reduce pain and increase movement.

Injuries that occur in the workplace are typically covered by Worker’s Compensation insurance. Therapists focus on treating the injury as well as rehabilitating the injured worker based on the activities required to return to their normal job duties.
