Chronic Pain Management Delray Beach

What to Expect from Chronic Pain Management

To get started, you will need to attend a consultation with our team. We will ask about your symptoms and how they affect your daily life. Be sure to let us know if the cause of the pain has already been diagnosed or if your previous providers were struggling to figure it out. We will also perform a physical examination and use advanced imaging equipment if needed.

Then, we will customize your pain management plan to your unique circumstances. Medication, regenerative medicine injections, physical therapy, acupuncture, osteopathic manipulation, and other techniques could all play a role in your treatment. Keep in mind that some trial and error might be necessary. If you do not find relief from our initial approach, we can make adjustments. The goal is to find a plan that is effective and sustainable.

What Are the Common Conditions We Treat?

Our team is well-qualified to treat a range of conditions that cause chronic pain, including:

Musculoskeletal Pain

Pain in the back, neck, and joints can come from chronic conditions or acute injuries. Our team will strive to figure out exactly where the pain is coming from and how to reduce it.  For example, we might use viscosupplementation to provide cushioning in arthritic knees, or we may use regenerative injections like Prolozone to encourage healing at the site of the problem.

Headache Pain

Headaches are one of the most common symptoms that people experience, and they can have hundreds of different causes! Sometimes, the issue stems from musculoskeletal problems or nerve issues. At other times, chronic stress is a major contributor. Many different treatments have the potential to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. For example, a lot of patients find that acupuncture or osteopathic manipulation provides effective non-drug relief.

Nerve Pain

Pinched nerves, as well as overly active or irritated nerves, can cause persistent pain at various parts of the body. We offer treatments that can help! For example, radiofrequency ablation can prevent targeted nerves from sending pain signals, while nerve hydrodissection can cushion pinched or compressed nerves.

Sports Injuries

Often, sports injuries heal well and leave no lingering pain. In other cases, they can cause ongoing suffering. If you have an old injury that seems like it never healed quite right, or if you have a relatively recent injury, our team can assist you. After we use imaging equipment to examine the area, we can advise you on treatments that may promote healing and lead to lasting pain relief.
