About
Pain Management involves a variety of approaches, including medication, minimally invasive procedures and physical therapy. Here at First American Specialist Medical Centre, some common methods used in pain management are:
1. Medications: Using both over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers and prescription pain medications, muscle relaxants, nerve pain medications and antidepressants to control various degrees of pain in accordance with the WHO pain ladder.
2. Physical Therapy: This involves exercises and techniques to improve mobility, strength, and flexibility. Our physical therapists use modalities like heat, cold, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation to help manage pain.
3. Injections and Nerve Blocks: This involves injecting medications directly into or around the affected area to help alleviate pain.
4. Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to address the underlying cause of pain, such as a herniated disc or joint damage.
