What should I know about pain management?

Pain management is an area of medicine that specializes in controlling acute and chronic pain. Your body uses pain as a signal that you have an injury or illness. The type of pain you feel depends on the cause. 

Though pain provides many clues about your health, it’s not a sensation you need to suffer through, especially when the source is known. Getting your pain under control benefits your physical and psychological well-being, improving health and healing.

What types of pain management can help me recover from an injury?

Before making any treatment recommendations for your injury, your provider at Orthopaedic Specialists of Dallas conducts a thorough evaluation. They ask about your injury and the type of pain it causes, complete a physical exam, and perform imaging studies to confirm or rule out the cause of your discomfort.

They talk to you about their findings and together develop a treatment plan. For injuries and chronic pain conditions, the orthopaedic specialists initially take a conservative approach with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and physical therapy. 

The team may also suggest platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to support the body’s natural healing process. 

If you continue to have pain, the orthopaedic experts at Orthopaedic Specialists of Dallas may suggest surgery to investigate and treat the cause of your discomfort.
