What are pain management treatments?

There is no single best way to treat pain, and the experts at Republic Spine and Pain create individualized treatment plans for pain management based on the cause, location, and severity of your pain. Your doctor may initially recommend conservative treatments to help you gain control over your pain, such as stress management and physical therapy. Various medications may also be recommended to help you get relief. 

If conservative treatments fail to get you the relief you need, your doctor may suggest interventional pain management. 

What is interventional pain management?

Interventional pain management refers to a group of minimally invasive surgical procedures typically done in the outpatient setting to alleviate acute, chronic, or cancer-related pain conditions. Republic Spine and Pain doctors perform these procedures at their state-of-the-art facilities. Some of the interventional pain management treatments offered include nerve blocks and epidural injections.

They also offer spinal cord stimulators, which are devices that get placed in your back or abdomen and send low-voltage electrical signals along your spinal canal to help minimize pain sensations. For lower back pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis, the experienced team offers the revolutionary Superion® Vertiflex® device, which may prevent a need for back surgery. 

The pain management experts at Republic Spine and Pain work closely with you and adjust your treatment plan as needed until you find the best treatment to help manage your pain.
