Therapy
For millions of people, chronic pain is an agonizing reality. Pain can cause
much more than physical discomfort. It can affect how you think and how you
act around family, friends and co-workers. If not properly treated, pain can
hurt those relationships as much as it hurts you. At the Pain Management Center,
we offer diagnostic and treatment options for a variety of types of pain, including:
• Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
• Osteoarthritis
• Neck Pain
• Cancer Pain
• Low Back Pain
• Disc Herniation
• Nerve Injury
• Pain from Injury
The most important factor in the treatment of pain is an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Theesfeld and the professional staff of The Pain Management Center use the most advanced diagnostic testing available to investigate the source of your pain.
The following are the most common diagnostic tests.
Diagnostic Injections - These injections allow the physician to confirm the specific nerve location through an injection of anesthetic into the area surrounding the suspected nerve.
Diagnostic Nerve Block - A injection of an anesthetic medication is given outside of the spinal canal, along the nerve root that is thought to be causing the pain. A rise in temperature in the hands or feet show that the injection was in the right area.
DMX - A unique imaging system that enables the physician to visualize the internal and external movements of the body, or bio-mechanics, simultaneously.
Epiduroscopy - This procedure is used to directly visualize the inside of the spinal column. A small fiberoptic catheter is placed into the painful areas and can be visualized on a monitor.
Discography - This procedure is used to help confirm the source of pain. A needle is used to inject a dye into the disc that is thought to be causing pain. Using an X-Ray or CT scan, it can be determined if the dye travels outside of the disc space demonstrating an abnormality.
