Pain Management Q & A

When do I need pain management?

Many people are in the habit of pushing through their pain. While that works for exercise and athletic training, it only leads to bigger problems if you have an injury or degenerative disease.

When your pain is severe or gets progressively worse, it’s important to seek prompt treatment. In addition to relieving your pain, treatment helps to break the ongoing cycle of chronic pain.


What causes chronic pain?

An acute injury or illness can turn into chronic pain. But in many cases, chronic pain is caused by problems such as:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Inflammatory conditions
  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
  • Neuropathy
  • Arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Herniated disc
  • Disc degeneration
  • Vascular disease

 

The customized treatment available at Preva Surgicare - Surgery Center Of The Woodlands helps to alleviate your pain no matter what underlying cause triggers the problem. 


What pain management treatments might I receive?  

At Preva Surgicare - Surgery Center Of The Woodlands, you have access to multiple different medical specialists who work together to provide optimal pain management. Your treatment plan may include options such as:

Neurostimulation

Neurostimulation uses mild electrical impulses to block the nerve signals carrying pain messages to your brain. When your brain doesn’t get the pain message, you won’t feel the full amount of pain.

This treatment can relieve back, neck, arm, and leg pain by targeting nerves in your spine. Neurostimulation can also target specific peripheral nerves to alleviate the pain caused by conditions such as autoimmune disorders and diabetes.

Joint injections

Joint injections contain a steroid, either alone or together with a local anesthetic. Your provider injects the medication directly into the joint, where the steroid provides pain relief that lasts from days to years.

If you have osteoarthritis, your provider at Preva Surgicare - Surgery Center Of The Woodlands may recommend a joint injection containing hyaluronic acid that naturally lubricates the joint and relieves pain.

Neurospine care

When the source of your pain is a problem in your spine, such as a herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, or compressed nerves, the neurospine specialist at Preva Surgicare - Surgery Center Of The Woodlands is available to provide expert medical and surgical care.

Chiropractic care and physical therapy

Manual therapy, chiropractic techniques, and structured exercise are important parts of a long-term pain management plan. The team at Preva Surgicare - Surgery Center Of The Woodlands refers you to chiropractors and physical therapists in the area.
