Manage My Pain | Surgery Center of Winter Park
Surgery Center of Winter Park (SCWP) offers pain management solutions such as procedures, injections, and/or therapy. Patients may experience acute pain due to previous injuries or chronic pain due to autoimmune diseases after these procedures.
The doctors at our clinic might be able to help you with a pain management plan if you are experiencing pain. An effective treatment plan that involves your entire body is imperative if you want to avoid the risk of your condition getting worse.
Without treatment for unresolved pain, serious mental health issues could arise. There has been a correlation between a patient's emotional well-being and their pain, according to studies. Anxiety, depression, and substance abuse may also be experienced by chronic pain sufferers.
The symptom of pain is one of the most common ones a person may experience after suffering an injury, illness, or disorder. Before choosing a pain management approach, you should determine whether you suffer from acute or chronic pain.
The pain a patient experiences from an acute injury lasts only a short time and usually subsides when the injury is healed. Unlike chronic pain, which persists after recovery is expected and can last for months or even years, chronic pain can become incapacitating. There may be more than one pain management technique recommended by your physician to manage your pain.
A person may only feel pain in one part of their body or may feel pain in multiple parts, depending on the severity and duration of the pain. When dealing with chronic pain, pain management generally focuses on reducing pain rather than eliminating it. Pain management involves a variety of different procedures, including:
used to diagnose or treat lower back pain
also known as cortisone injections, to alleviate extreme pain
typically used to treat or alleviate spine pain
injections done in your facet joints to alleviate pain
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is also known as (TENS)
utilizes electric currents to treat pain
The use of advanced technology such as the C-ARM can pinpoint precisely the area of pain that needs to be treated in a minimally invasive, relatively simple, and streamlined procedure with low-risk exposure.
As a result of C-ARM machines, pain management procedures have become more accurate and successful. Prior to surgery, you should always be sure to be upfront and clear with your physician in regard to pain control. This will allow your doctor to better understand any previous history with pain medications and/or treatments and decide which option may be best for you.
