How to Manage Your Pain with Pain Management | Mountain Surgery Center
In order to live life to your fullest potential one needs to gain control over and find relief from acute and chronic debilitating pain conditions. At Mountain Surgery Center of West Orange New Jersey, we offer pain management solutions to our patients.
Debilitating pain can have a negative domino effect on your life, and we are here to help you in your pain management journey with excellent healthcare solutions. We are proud to provide comprehensive and compassionate care to our patients.
Our world-renowned physicians will craft a customized pain management plan that is best suited for you. Pain management solutions can include procedures and injections for lower back pain, arthritis, etc.
When evaluating your pain our physicians will carefully examine the affected area, take any necessary scans, and ask a variety of questions to better understand the severity of your pain. Solutions can be as quick as one injection or as in-depth as a procedure dependent upon the severity of the pain and/or injury. Patients may describe their pain as aching, burning, throbbing, or sharp/shooting.
It is important to distinguish the difference between acute and chronic pain to better guide the best pain management solution for you. Acute pain can result from a broken bone/fracture, an accident such as a car or motorcycle, a burn from cooking, or a recent surgery. Chronic pain is pain that typically lasts longer than six months and can include severe pain from arthritis, back injury, cancer treatment, or diabetes.
Chronic pain is recognized as a major medical condition and known as the most costly health problem with the increase in medical expenses and insurance coverage. It can begin from illness or an injury and the pain can dissipate and come back unexpectedly. Chronic pain can greatly interfere with daily activities such as walking, cooking, or cleaning. If you are experiencing chronic pain, you must seek medical assistance immediately to work on devising a pain management plan best suited for you.
