Pain Management Q & A

What’s causing my pain?

Pain is your body’s response to injury, distress, or dysfunction. When you experience pain, it’s your body’s way of letting you know something is wrong. Most cases of pain are sudden and acute, and last for only a few days following an injury. 

In some cases, however, pain can persist for weeks to the point of becoming a chronic issue. Chronic pain can range from headaches and migraines to debilitating back pain. Chronic pain can be caused by a wide range of injuries and conditions, including:

  • Arthritis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Nerve damage
  • Muscle strains
  • Injuries

Pain can also result from complications following surgery. If you suffer from ongoing pain, the interventional pain management physicians at 360 Orthopedics can provide you with the right treatment for effective pain relief. 

How is my pain diagnosed?

In order to successfully treat your pain, your doctor performs a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause of your condition. Your diagnosis begins with an in-depth physical exam. 

Your doctor also reviews your medical history and discusses your symptoms and any recent injuries. In addition to your physical exam, your doctor may perform a number of other tests to diagnose your condition. 360 Orthopedics offers several advanced diagnostics. They include:

  • X-rays
  • MRIs
  • Electromyography (EMG)
  • Nerve conduction studies (NCS)

After your doctor establishes your diagnosis, they work with you to develop your individualized care plan. 360 Orthopedics specializes in compassionate, comprehensive care and offers a wide range of conservative treatments. 

What treatments are available?

The goal of pain management is to provide you with reliable and effective pain relief so you can return to your normal routine. Depending on your condition, your treatment plan may include:
