Pain management

Pain Management is commonly misunderstood to imply "pain relief or taking painkillers"

Doctors who specialise in pain management determine what is causing your suffering and how to alleviate it.

We have all encountered pain from a variety of causes, including underlying diseases, disorders, injuries, and cancers. Pain could also be an adverse effect of a treatment you have been receiving. It can unexpectedly affect any part of the body and prevent us from engaging in normal day-to-day activities.

Pain management is a relatively young field of medicine and healthcare that focuses primarily on assisting patients in living a better life by minimising or treating pain. This is accomplished by the use of a variety of therapies, exercises, medications, relaxation techniques, meditation, and lifestyle changes. Acute and chronic pain are both addressed through pain management.

Conditions that call for the need for pain management:

For the best long-term results, any pain should be managed as soon as possible.

A carefully crafted plan might help you manage pain that has been bothering you for days or even months.

Some common conditions that can trigger pain:

  • Musculoskeletal conditions like joint pain, frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, arthritis and its types such as Gout, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
  • Autoimmune conditions like Lupus and Crohn's disease, which are triggered by an abnormality in the immune system due to which it either stop attacking foreign bodies or mistake the patient's own cells as foreign bodies.
  • Endometriosis
  • Chronic pain disorders like fibromyalgia and Central pain syndrome
  • Facial pain
  • Neuropathy, which refers to severe nerve damage, usually caused by underlying conditions.
  • Chronic headaches

Paint can be 

  • Acute pain - It is an abrupt onset of intense pain, typically caused by an injury or underlying illness. By addressing the underlying cause, the pain is readily alleviated. Acute pain is characterised by conditions such as bone fracture, appendicitis, and injury.
  • Chronic pain - It is pain that gradually worsens over time and can persist for weeks or even months. It is typically the consequence of a disease or injury that has gone undiagnosed or untreated for an extended period of time. Chronic pain is pain induced by conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.
  • Nociceptive pain - It is a form of pain caused by tissue damage. When this occurs, the nociceptors, also known as the ends of nerve cells, transmit signals to the brain, resulting in an abrupt onset of pain.
  • Neuropathic pain - It refers to a condition in which the nervous system generates pain signals without a specific underlying cause. Those with diabetes or HIV are likely to experience this.

Pain evaluation

The first stage in pain management is to identify the source of the pain, as the entire treatment approach is based on this. During the appointment, our professionals will ask you questions and review your medical history to determine the possible causes of your discomfort. If the underlying cause is known, a team will develop a plan and proceed directly with that; however, if the underlying cause is unknown, tests may be required to establish the diagnosis.

Other considerations are the location and degree of the discomfort.

Pain management modalities

Among the various pain management techniques that our experts recommend are the following:

  • Home treatments - This is frequently given to patients who have mild to severe bone and muscle injuries, such as a sprain, elbow or ankle twisting, or a violent hit. You will be asked to use RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) treatments or to undertake some easy activities.
  • Counselling and treatment approaches include cognitive - behavioral therapy and biofeedback, which aim to improve how your mind reacts to physical pain. Long-term pain can frequently lead to anxiety and depression, both of which require effective treatment. These can be addressed by treatment, regular counselling, and meditation practices.
  • Exercising - It can help you improve your mobility, range of motion, and posture, all of which can help relieve discomfort. Exercising does not have to require heavy lifting; yoga, pilates, swimming, cycling, and jogging are all alternatives.
  • Hands-on therapies -Physical therapy, oil massages, chiropractic adjustments, and acupuncture are examples of hands-on therapies that have been found to reduce pain and enhance mobility. They are age-old treatments that have been integrated into modern medicine due to their utility.
  • Lifestyle modifications - Sometimes, the factors in your life that cause you pain can be changed for the better by making healthy adjustments to your daily routine. Weight loss, increased activity, better sleep hygiene, and healthier food are all examples of lifestyle modifications.
  • Medication - Patients who are not responding well to various forms of treatment are frequently advised to take medication. Both as a primary treatment and in conjunction with other treatments have documentation. Antibiotics and pain relievers are a few of the pharmaceuticals that are frequently administered.
