Pain Management Services

Some of the comprehensive pain management services include:

Medications

Medications are vital in treating orthopedic pain by providing relief and improving the patient's quality of life. Over-the-counter options, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, naproxen, or acetaminophen, are commonly used for mild to moderate pain. In more severe cases, prescription medications like opioids, muscle relaxants, or topical analgesics may be recommended. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, as the choice of medication depends on the underlying cause, the severity of the pain, and the patient's medical history.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections are a minimally invasive treatment that directly targets muscle knots or sore spots, reducing inflammation and relieving pain. These injections can help with various conditions, including fibromyalgia, headaches, and back pain. Our team of pain management providers ensures the safety and effectiveness of every trigger point injection, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points in the body. Our acupuncture-focused pain management services at Orthopedic Specialists help manage pain, reduce stress, and improve overall wellness. Acupuncture can help various conditions, such as chronic pain and osteoarthritis pain. We have experienced acupuncturists who can provide safe and effective treatment.

Massage Therapy

Regular massage therapy is becoming increasingly popular to manage pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall well-being.
