Pain Management

Pain management may be simple or complex, depending on the cause of the pain. A good example of simple pain would be irritation of the nerve root from a herniated disc and the accompanying pain radiating down the leg. 

Sometimes, the pain does not go away. This can require a wide variety of skills and techniques to treat the pain. This condition can often be alleviated with a pain management treatment plan and approach from a qualified chiropractor like Dr. Wall or Dr. Davis here at Advanced Spinal Care Center in Spanish Fork. 

Normal medicine treats injuries and diseases to support and speed healing, and it treats distressing symptoms such as pain to relieve suffering during treatment. Pain management has a role in identifying the precise source of the problem and isolating the optimal treatment.

Back and neck pain sufferers who do best with a pain management program, says Dr. Wall, are those who have had multiple back surgeries, including failed surgeries, and are still in pain, those with neuropathy, and those for whom it has been determined that surgery would not benefit their condition.

"People who have become addicted to pain medication actually need a better plan that includes above all, a thorough exam and in-depth research that uncovers the root cause of the pain, not just the symptoms – along with a detailed plan that includes an approach to treat the cause – so the underlying cause can be taken care of so full healing and recovery can happen.”
