Living with Chronic Pain
Living with chronic pain can be a painful and exhausting experience that impacts nearly every aspect of a patient’s life. From relentless discomfort to emotional distress, waking up with chronic pain every morning is something that can be life-altering. The constant presence of pain can lead to feelings of frustration, helplessness, and isolation. Although living with chronic pain can prevent individuals from many daily tasks, patients must take the time to visit a doctor to develop a treatment plan for pain management.
BEST Health System is a modern ambulatory center offering advanced chronic pain services to patients in need. We see the value and potential in personalized care, which is why we work closely with each patient to determine the cause of their underlying pain. While many doctors use a streamlined approach to treat general pain, we go much deeper. Taking a detailed look into family and personal medical history, running diagnostic tests, and collecting samples help our doctors form a detailed diagnosis that inspires a unique treatment plan.
The Importance of a Multidisciplinary Approach to Chronic Pain Care
Have you ever thought about what truly causes chronic pain? Often it lingers from an injury or illness, but other times there is an active condition that causes it to either stay consistent or return from time to time. Understanding the root cause of chronic pain is an essential step in diagnosing and treating patients.
Typically, doctors will begin treatment with a thorough diagnostic process, including medical imaging, medical history, and physical examinations. By compiling this information, doctors can create an explanation for the pain, allowing them to develop an intentional treatment plan that addresses the underlying condition or injury.
If the pain is the result of a past injury that has yet to heal, doctors will typically encourage the patient to begin a physical therapy regime combined with the use of anti-inflammatory pain medications to provide comfort throughout the process. Additionally, the doctor will likely educate the patient on the effects lifestyle has on their overall health. Generally, limiting alcohol consumption, making smarter diet decisions, and working out a few times a week can reflect on how the patient feels.
If the pain is the result of a condition such as arthritis or cancer (pain that randomly manifests) the doctor will focus on a treatment plan that supports the body as a whole, while adding on some therapies such as physical therapy or pain medications.
