Pain is an individual experience — what feels painful to one person may not bother another. The way you feel pain also differs, so you might have intense, shooting leg pain because of a herniated disc in your lower back, while someone else might have tingling, numbness, and localized throbbing pain.
There are also numerous ways of treating pain, which again, work for some people and have little effect on others. The VMS Orthopedic & Spine Institute team uses their expertise to amend your treatment program where necessary to optimize pain reduction.
An accurate diagnosis of what’s causing your pain can make a significant difference in reducing your symptoms. For example, you might have lower back and pelvic pain that seems to be caused by a herniated lumbar disc. However, you might also have sacroiliac joint pain in your pelvis that requires a different treatment to the herniated disc.
Therefore, the first stage in managing your pain is to determine what’s causing it, where that’s possible. The VMS Orthopedic & Spine Institute team might recommend diagnostic imaging tests like X-rays or a CT/MRI scan, plus electromyogram and nerve conduction velocity tests to check for nerve damage.
Your provider also looks at aspects of your lifestyle that could be making your pain worse, including lack of exercise, being overweight, and a poor diet.
Your chronic pain management plan aims to target the underlying causes of your condition as well as minimizing the symptoms. Therefore, although pain relief medication could form part of your treatment, it won’t be the main approach. Potential treatments include:
The VMS Orthopedic & Spine Institute team regularly reviews your chronic pain management plan to see how well the treatments are performing and make changes where necessary. In this way, they optimize your symptom reduction and help you stay active and enjoy life.
