Services
Back Pain
Report
Pain management is particularly important for back pain patients, as back pain can influence your every-day life in a variety of ways. We understand the significance of this and work with you to integrate pain management into your overall approach for care. Take these medications only as directed by your doctor.
Cancer Pain
Report
Pain management is particularly important for cancer patients, considering one in three patients continues to experience pain after treatment. If you have pain, the severity and prevalence of your pain may depend on many factors, including the type and stage of your cancer, your treatment plan and your tolerance for pain.
Chronic Pain
Report
Take these medications only as directed by your doctor. Narcotics - Drugs containing opioids, such as oxycodone or hydrocodone, may be used for a short time with close supervision by your doctor. Antidepressants - Low doses of certain types of antidepressants - particularly tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline - have been shown to relieve some types of chronic back pain independent of their effect on depression.
Emotional Disorders
Report
In many cases, pain and medical disorders bring with them more than just physical discomfort. They are often associated with changes in your emotional state - including depression and anxiety. The role of a psychologist specializing in pain management is to address these losses and changes. Psychologists provide individuals with skills to assist them to manage their pain and control their lives.
Facial Pain
Report
Pain management is particularly important for facial pain patients, considering a majority of face pain can be caused by various neuralgia (or nerve) disorders. Neuralgia treatment usually starts with medications, and some people don't need any additional treatment. However, over time, some people with the condition may stop responding to medications, or they may experience unpleasant side effects.
