Pain Management Specialist

What is pain management?

Pain management is a custom service that you can get if pain plays a significant role in your life. There are many degenerative diseases, injuries, and illnesses that cause prolonged pain, and that pain can have more of an influence over your life than you might initially expect. 

With any type of chronic pain, you might find that it has an influence over your:

• Sleep 
• Mental well-being
• Mobility
• Concentration and focus
• Productivity
• Strength

If your pain is difficult to manage or doesn’t respond well to attempts at home care, it’s time to consider individualized pain management services at Dr. Badawy Complete Care. 

Who can benefit from pain management?

Pain management benefits people who experience pain on a daily or almost daily basis. There are many types of chronic pain, including joint pain, neurological pain, and headaches or migraines. Some conditions that may drive you to consider pain management services are:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Herniated discs
• Fibromyalgia
• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
• Endometriosis
• Migraine
• Neuropathy
• Back injuries

Your provider at Dr. Badawy Complete Care makes sure they have an accurate and up-to-date diagnosis of the cause of your pain. If you don’t already have a diagnosis, they may perform various diagnostic tests like X-rays or blood tests to rule out possible causes or identify probable contributing factors. 

What does pain management involve?

Pain management is a highly customizable service. With regular visits to Dr. Badawy Complete Care, you get detailed evaluations that track your level of pain and the status of the underlying condition causing it. Your provider makes recommendations and prescriptions appropriate for your pain type and prognosis. 

While many people rely on pain medications to manage pain, medications are not always a necessary part of pain management. Often, you can experience significant improvements in your pain by changing your diet and routine. Your provider at Dr. Badawy Complete Care encourages you to build a healthy diet that centers on whole foods and get regular exercise. 

Pain management can also involve in-office procedures such as cortisone joint injections for arthritis, Botox® injections for chronic migraine, or osteopathic manipulation.
