Pain Management

What is pain management?

Pain management helps you cope with chronic pain disorders — ongoing pain lasting three or more months. Conditions that can cause chronic pain include:

• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Cancer
• Spinal disorders like herniated discs
• Postherpetic neuralgia
• Vertebral compression fractures from osteoporosis
• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
• Peripheral neuropathy (nerve dysfunction)
• Recurrent headaches and migraines

Some people’s pain is idiopathic, meaning the cause is unclear.

Patients may live with chronic pain for years or have lifelong incurable conditions. Chronic pain has multiple adverse effects on mental and physical health and often causes disabilities, making everyday life difficult to endure.

If you experience long-term pain, Viva Life Healing Centers offers innovative pain management treatments that reduce pain, improve movement, and increase quality of life.

What does pain management involve?

Pain management uses various treatments depending on your pain’s cause.

Addressing the underlying condition where possible is vital, for example, receiving chiropractic care for a musculoskeletal injury or managing diabetes to reduce the risk of nerve damage.

Typically, pain management programs combine physical therapy, medication, psychological counseling, relaxation skills, and occupational therapy (learning to adapt your daily activities). If their pain fails to improve, some patients try more invasive treatments, such as corticosteroid injections and radiofrequency ablation.

Dr. Chiriano and his team offer safe, painless, noninvasive alternatives to help you manage chronic pain.
