What is pain management?

Pain management is a branch of healthcare that aims to relieve pain. In most cases, patients with chronic pain are referred to pain management clinics. Elite Integrative Medical offers pain management services to all of their patients, including those with acute and chronic pain, in order to relieve their discomfort and improve physical function.

Pain management is a fairly new branch of medicine and advances in the field show that pain relief is possible with appropriate therapies.

What types of therapies are involved in pain management?

Pain management can incorporate a wide range of therapies, depending on the types of specialists in the clinic. At Elite Integrative Medical, the team includes chiropractors, medical providers and kinesiology, in order to provide you with the most extensive pain management options possible.

Common therapies for pain management include:

• Chiropractic care
• Physical therapy
• Full Body Kinesiology
• Nutritional counseling

In addition to these services available in the office, the team also provides support for care outside the office, including medication, surgery, psychiatry, and psychologists. Referrals are available whenever needed and the team’s first priority is getting you out of pain effectively and efficiently.

Your treatment plan may incorporate some or all of these therapies in order to achieve the best results. During your initial consultation, you’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history with the team to determine which therapies are most beneficial for you.

Then, you’ll go through a trial course of treatment over the next two to four weeks to determine if these pain management strategies are beneficial or if they should be modified to maximize the benefits to you. Since pain can change over time, the team makes sure to update your treatment plan whenever necessary to ensure you get the care and support you need.
