Pain Management

Pain Management Treatments –

Pain is complex, so there are many treatment options — Medications, Therapies, and Mind-body techniques. The first step in pain management is scheduling an appointment with your doctor to determine the cause of your pain and learn which pain management approach is often the most effective for it. Different pain has occurred in the human body i.e. Back Pain Treatment,Spine Pain, and Neck Pain.

Passive and active treatments Passive treatments relax your body and include deep tissue massage, hot and cold therapy, electrical stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound and Hydrotherapy. Active treatment involves active stretching and strengthening exercises trunk stability, core strengthening

1. Passive Treatments :

A. Massage Therapy

Massage is a popular therapy used to relieve muscle tension, spasms, inflammation, fluid retention, aches, stiffness, and pain. Other benefits include improved circulation (blood and lymph), general flexibility, range of motion, and increased tissue elasticity (e.g. scar tissue).

During treatment, the physical therapist may include localized massage (e.g. low back or neck) as a prelude to exercise. Massage increases circulation and warms muscles and other soft tissues (e.g. tendons, ligaments). Other types of massage include full-body massage, which often leaves the patient feeling relaxed and free of anxiety.

As the therapist uses their hands or specialized tools to rhythmically knead, rub, and stroke (effleurage) muscles, circulation is stimulated. Blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients and is key to helping muscles eliminate waste products, such as lactic acid, that may collect in muscles from spasms causing pain.

B. Hot and Cold Therapy

Both hot and cold therapies offer their own set of benefits, and your physical therapist may alternate between them to get the best results. This reduces inflammation, muscle spasms, and pain.

C. Hydrotherapy

Gently relieves pain and relaxes muscles.

D.TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)

Uses electrical current to stimulate your muscles and reduces muscle spasms and is generally believed to trigger the release of endorphins, which are your body’s natural pain killers.TENS works to decrease pain perception and may be used to control acute and chronic pain. It may also be used with other treatments, such as exercise.

2. Active Treatments :

Help to reduce recurrent pain but will also benefit your overall health.

A. Core stability

Many people don’t realize how important a strong core is to their spinal health. Your core (abdominal) muscles help your back muscles support your spine. When your core muscles are weak, it puts extra pressure on your back muscles. Your physical therapist may teach you to core stabilizing exercises to strengthen your back.

B. Flexibility

Learning proper stretching and flexibility techniques will prepare you for aerobic and strength exercises. Flexibility helps your body move easier by warding off stiffness.

C. Muscle strengthening

Strong muscles are a great support system for your spine and better handle pain.

3.The McKenzie Method

The McKenzie Method is not merely extension exercises. In its truest sense, McKenzie is a comprehensive approach to the spine based on sound principles and fundamentals that, when understood and followed accordingly, are very successful. In fact, most remarkable, but least appreciated, is the McKenzie assessment process.

Assessment

Unique to the McKenzie Method®is a well-defined algorithm that leads to the simple classification of spinal-related disorders. It is based on a consistent “cause and effect” relationship between historical pain behavior as well as the pain response to repeated test movements, positions, and activities during the assessment process.

A systematic progression of applied mechanical forces (the cause) utilizes pain response (the effect) to monitor changes in motion/function. The underlying disorder can then be quickly identified through objective findings for each individual patient. The McKenzie classification of spinal pain provides reproducible means of separating patients with apparently similar presentations into definable sub-groups (syndromes) to determine the appropriate treatment.

McKenzie has named these three mechanical syndromes: Postural, Dysfunction, and Derangement.

Each distinct syndrome is addressed according to its unique nature with mechanical procedures, utilizing movement, and positions. The Derangement syndrome where the phenomenon of “centralization” occurs is most common.

Non-Surgical Treatments

Medications: Your doctor will most likely prescribe drugs to decrease or block the pain signals transmitted to your brain in order to treat trigeminal neuralgia.
Anticonvulsants:For trigeminal neuralgia, doctors typically prescribe carbamazepine (Tegretol, Carbatrol, and others), which has been demonstrated to be beneficial in treating the condition. Anticonvulsants can cause dizziness, disorientation, sleepiness, and nausea as side effects.
Antispasmodic agents: Baclofen (Gablofen, Lioresal, Ozobax) and other muscle relaxants can be taken alone or in conjunction with carbamazepine. Confusion, nausea, and drowsiness are all possible side effects.
Botox injections: OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injections have been found in small studies to alleviate pain from trigeminal neuralgia in persons who are no longer aided by medicines. More research is needed, however, before this medication may be widely used for this illness.

Surgical Treatments

Trigeminal neuralgia surgery possibilities include:

Microvascular Decompression (MVD): To prevent the nerve from failing, this surgery includes repositioning or eliminating blood vessels that come into touch with the trigeminal root. Microvascular decompression can successfully eliminate or lessen discomfort for many years, reduced hearing, facial weakness, facial numbness, a stroke, and other problems are all possible side effects of microvascular decompression. The majority of patients who have this treatment don’t experience any face numbness afterward.
Brain stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma knife):A surgeon directs a concentrated dosage of radiation to the root of your trigeminal nerve during this treatment. The trigeminal nerve is damaged using radiation, which reduces or eliminates pain. It may take up to a month for relief to appear. For the most part, brain stereotactic radiosurgery is effective in removing pain.
