What is chronic pain, and how is it managed?

Pain can be a useful tool to let you know that parts of your body are injured or becoming overtaxed. When your body functions properly, you can address nagging issues and say goodbye to the associated pain. Chronic pain, however, lasts more than three months and can become a familiar, persistent burden. 

Chronic pain can have many causes, such as nerve damage, infections, or health conditions. At Monarch Medical, Richard offers both traditional and regenerative solutions to address discomfort. Instead of resorting to surgery to manage issues, you can discuss nonsurgical options like joint injections to find relief.

Richard designs your treatment plan to promote better comfort and mobility, tailoring your care to bring back the joy of pain-free movement.

Who can benefit from chronic pain management?

You may benefit from chronic pain management if you struggle with:

• Back and spinal discomfort
• Chronic joint pain
• Osteoarthritis in the knee or shoulder
• Arthritis
• Knee pain
• Muscle and tendon injuries
• Mobility limitations due to joint discomfort
• Sports-related injuries
• Shoulder pain

Lifestyle changes also help manage pain. Good nutrition, tobacco cessation, and weight loss may all contribute to feeling much better over time. If you have a health condition like diabetes increasing your discomfort, Richard provides holistic care to prevent complications.

What can I expect from chronic pain management?

Richard evaluates your condition to determine the underlying cause, discusses your personal and family medical histories, and develops a personalized treatment plan to address your issue. He offers cutting-edge injection treatments that heal injured or inflamed joints and stimulate your body’s innate ability to heal.

If Richard determines pain injections can help, he’ll perform the treatment in the office in a comfortable environment. After cleaning the injection site and numbing the area, he injects a combination of anti-inflammatory medication and anesthetic into the treatment area.

Once your quick injection is done, you can return home to rest. Try to take it easy for the rest of the day.
