What Pain Management Actually Involves

Long-standing pain — defined as pain lasting more than 90 days — calls for an ongoing clinical commitment. Our providers are experienced with both acute and chronic presentations.

This can mean patients injured in car crashes or falls, people with surgical complications, workers with occupational injuries, and individuals with progressive joint or nerve disorders. Our objective comes down to the same: reduce pain, restore function, and improve quality of life.

Pain Management FAQ

People exploring pain management usually come to us with concerns. These are direct answers to what patients ask us regularly.

What should I expect to pay for pain management?

Pain management pricing differs considerably based on the specific treatments involved, the number of sessions needed, and your insurance coverage. A large number of common interventions — like PRP, diagnostic nerve blocks, and copyright injections — are covered at least in part by most major insurance plans.

Your provider will be transparent about what to expect during your initial consultation.

Are nerve blocks and epidural copyright injections the same thing?

Both belong to the category of targeted injection therapies, but they work differently and treat different conditions. ESI deposits copyright directly into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord to calm multiple irritated nerve roots. A nerve block targets a specific nerve or nerve cluster — injecting anesthetic, copyright, or a combination — to interrupt pain signals from a particular area. Your pain management provider will identify which approach fits your condition based on your diagnosis and imaging findings.

Am I a good candidate for pain management if I've already had surgery?

Will pain management fix my pain permanently?

The answer depends on the specific condition being treated. Some treatments, like radiofrequency ablation, can produce relief lasting one to two years or more.
