What are the Best Interventional Pain Management Treatments for Chronic Pain?
Nerve pain and other pain syndromes often feel like you’re fighting a silent battle. From the outside, no one can see your struggle. On the inside, the excruciating pain you feel on a daily basis makes you want to curl up in a ball and beg for relief. Thankfully, there are solutions for chronic pain that don’t involve surgery or narcotics, and can truly provide long-lasting relief. When you schedule an appointment at Pain Treatment Specialists, your pain doctor identifies the cause of your chronic pain, and then customizes a treatment plan designed to address your specific concerns.
Radiofrequency ablation is one of the cutting-edge tools used at our NJ pain clinics. This treatment is effective for people who have tried steroid injections and more conservative treatments without sufficient pain relief. RF ablation involves the use of heat energy generated by using alternating current technology. The heat energy is delivered to the exact nerve endings that are radiating pain, which deactivates the signals sent to the brain. The result is a dramatic reduction in chronic pain.
Epidural steroid injections are effective for patients suffering from spinal stenosis or herniated discs. During this procedure, medicines are delivered to the epidural space of the spine which provides relief from pain and swelling. An epidural steroid injection provides enough pain relief for patients to begin physical therapy, which is highly effective when used in conjunction with pain medicine treatments.
When your chronic pain strikes, don’t suffer through another flare-up. Schedule an appointment at Pain Treatment Specialists and find relief from your symptoms.
How Can I Describe my Nerve Pain to Pain Doctors?
When you live with chronic pain, it might be difficult to find the exact words to describe your pain symptoms. Since this is something you live with, adapting to it becomes part of your daily routine. However, being able to clearly explain your chronic pain symptoms is a critical part of your consultation. Begin by keeping a pain journal where you document a few days of your life with chronic pain. In this journal, mention times of day and activities that cause more pain than others. Assign a pain rating of 1-10 for these times, and use specific words like “aching”, “sharp”, “numb”, or “weak” to describe the type of pain you’re feeling.
Summer in New Jersey is too short to spend it inside suffering from chronic pain. Contact Pain Treatment Specialists and find effective, long-lasting solutions for your nerve pain, back pain, neck pain, and knee pain.
