Medicine vs. "Pain
Management" It's more than "pain management." Pain management focuses on treating symptoms (e.g. repeated epidural steroid injections). Pain Medicine treats the underlying cause. Various professionals exist who focus on treating pain. However, physicians who practice Pain Medicine require specific education and training; and most will obtain certification from the American Board of Anesthesiologists and/or the American Board of Pain Medicine. Rather than teaching you how to "manage" your pain, the emerging new medical specialty of Pain Medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating the SOURCE of pain. After the origin of the pain is determined, treatments are tailored to the specific needs of the patient. Treatments can include ultra-minimally invasive procedures, muscle reconditioning, optimal joint mobility and flexibility techniques, and other options that will allow for faster recovery. |
