Pain Management

Pain management is a branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with pain. Pain sometimes resolves promptly once the underlying trauma or pathology has healed, and is treated by one practitioner, with drugs such as analgesics and (occasionally) anxiolytics. Effective management of chronic (long-term) pain, however, frequently requires the coordinated efforts of the management team. Treatment approaches to chronic pain include pharmacological measures, such as analgesics, tricyclic antidepressants, andanticonvulsants, interventional procedures, physiotherapy, and psychological measures, such as biofeedback and cognitive behavioral therapy.

In addition to medical practitioners, a pain management team may often benefit from the input of pharmacists, physiotherapists, clinical psychologists and occupational therapists, among others. We design personalized care plans depending on the patient’s individual needs and offer:

Although pain can protect us by forcing us to rest an injury or to stop doing something, the experience of being in a state of uncontrolled pain is horrible, frightening, and can have a profound effect on our quality of life. Uncontrolled pain can:

delay healing

disrupt sleep
cause anxiety and depression
Unrelieved pain has consequences

It turns out that healing is actually delayed when pain caused by tissue damage is not relieved. Research shows that uncontrolled pain has an adverse effect on our immune system. Continuous pain also appears to lower our body|s ability to respond to stressful situations such as surgery, chemotherapy, and psychological stress.

Far-reaching consequences can also result from pain due to damage to a nerve (neuropathic pain). This type of unrelieved pain seems to cause changes in the nervous system that contribute to the development of chronic pain long after the damage to the nerve has healed.

We already know that controlling pain helps to provide enjoyment and peace to those who are living with a life-threatening illness, but pain control may also prolong life by reducing the negative effects that pain has on the body.

Every individual’s progress varies and depends on the level of treatment required, so there is no predetermined length of treatment. However, research has shown unequivocally that good outcomes are contingent on adequate treatment length. Suggested treatment will be based on the first assessment and recovery of the patient over time.
