What is Pain Management?
Chronic pain affects all aspects of a patient's life, with the patient often experiencing depression, 
frustration and anger as a result of changes that occur in his or her life. Chronic pain affects the patient's ability to work, not working puts a significant strain on family finances. All of these problems place stress on family relationships, especially when other family members are required to take responsibility for tasks that were previously handled by the patient. Many patients turn to drugs or alcohol in search of relief from pain, in spite-of the fact that they do not help.
Because chronic pain is a complicated problem, a number of different treatments may be indicated, including medications, nerve blocks, physical therapy and/or psychological referrals.
Your individual problem will be carefully evaluated to determine which treatment, or combination of treatments, would be most effective in relieving your pain. Several professionals such as physicians, nurses, and psychologists may work together to help you manage your chronic pain.
What you can expect
Few, if any, pain management practices will report consistent results with all patients. Stay away from a center that claims miraculous results.
Seldom is chronic pain "cured." If, during your treatment, a complete cure does take place, so much the better. However, the most you should expect is some relief and the ability to better cope with your pain problem. The goal of pain management is, therefore, "rehabilitation"... not "cure."
The end result of a pain management program is that you should be able to return to a productive life and no longer be dependent upon drugs.
