What Is Pain Management?

Pain management involves using a variety of therapeutic techniques to address acute or chronic pain caused by injury, illness, or musculoskeletal conditions. The goal is to control pain levels, restore mobility, and empower you with tools to manage discomfort independently.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Chronic back and neck pain

  • Arthritis and joint pain

  • Post-surgical pain and recovery

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Sports injuries and overuse pain

  • Neuropathic pain and nerve irritation

  • Headaches and migraines related to musculoskeletal issues
