Pain Management
Understanding Pain Management
Pain is a complex condition that can significantly affect an individual’s quality of life, from limiting daily activities to impacting emotional well-being. Park Cities Surgery Center is dedicated to helping patients find relief through innovative pain management solutions tailored to their unique needs. By focusing on patient-centered care, we aim to provide compassionate support and actionable options for alleviating pain, empowering patients to regain control of their lives.
What Is Pain Management?
Pain management involves a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing, treating and improving the symptoms of acute or chronic pain. Therapies, medications and lifestyle changes may be combined to address underlying causes and improve overall well-being. At Park Cities Surgery Center, our team collaborates with patients to develop individualized plans that align with their specific goals and medical history.
Collaborative Care Approach
Pain management often requires a team effort. Our specialists work closely with other healthcare providers, including orthopedic surgeons, neurologists and physical therapists, to create an integrated care plan. This holistic approach can address the components of a patient’s pain experience.
Patient Education and Support
Education is a cornerstone of our program. We help patients understand their condition and treatment options, empowering them to participate actively in their care. Regular follow-ups and support services help patients feel heard and supported throughout their journey.
Common Conditions Treated
Our pain management program addresses a wide range of conditions, including:
- Chronic Back and Neck Pain: Commonly caused by herniated discs, degenerative disc disease or arthritis.
- Joint Pain: Including conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
- Neuropathic Pain: Resulting from nerve damage or conditions like diabetic neuropathy.
- Post-Surgical Pain: Persistent pain following surgery.
- Migraines and Headaches: Targeted therapies may help reduce frequency and severity.
When to Consider Pain Management Services
It may be time to seek professional pain management if:
- Pain persists for more than a few weeks and disrupts daily activities.
- Over-the-counter medications and home remedies fail to provide relief.
- Pain significantly impacts sleep, work and recreational activities.
Discussing your symptoms with a healthcare provider can help determine the best action.
