How Pain Management Techniques Can Help You

Chronic pain is a common problem, especially as you age. The cumulative effects of wear-and-tear, poor diet, lack of exercise, and medical conditions can all lead to pain. You can benefit from effective pain management strategies if you suffer from:

• Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

Let’s look at the top pain management techniques available at Michigan Pain Management Consultants in Southfield and Novi that can help you cope with a chronic medical condition. Consider:

• Epidural nerve blocks, to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain
• Joint injections, to relieve inflammation in joints caused by arthritis, overuse, and other factors
• Neurolytic injections, to damage a nerve and prevent pain signals from reaching the brain
• Trigger point injections, to relieve tightness and pressure associated with a trigger point in the muscle
• Medial branch blocks, to interrupt pain signals from the affected nerves
• Discogram with functional testing, using imaging and dye to determine the source and cause of pain
• Spinal cord stimulators, to disrupt the pain signals damaged nerves are sending
• Peripheral nerve stimulators, to disrupt pain signals nerves in the limbs are sending to the brain
• Intrathecal Drug Pumps, to deliver medication directly to the source of pain
