Pain is often characterized in the medical community as an uncomfortable feeling that tells the body something is not right. Pain can be acute or chronic, as well as steady, throbbing, stabbing, pinching or aching. Pain often occurs after an automobile accident, work-related injury, sports injury, home injury or other traumatic event. A pain management specialist has advanced, special training in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of various types of pain, including acute pain and chronic pain. Pain Recovery Center of Tyler, serving the greater Tyler, Texas and East Texas area, specializes in pain management and has two highly trained and experienced pain management specialists available to help return patients to normal, everyday activities.
Patients experiencing chronic pain often avoid behaviors and movements that trigger the pain. While this helps eliminate some degree of pain, it creates additional muscle wasting and inflammation of the body’s soft structures. Because of this, our pain management specialists offer a multidisciplinary/multimodal treatment plan that involves pain management and physical therapy. The physical therapy rehabilitation program is designed to change learned behaviors that may have contributed to additional pain, as well as to keep the body mobile. A pain management specialist offers much more than just pain management medications. Pain specialists are able to treat various types of pain by utilizing x-rays, fluoroscopic and guided procedures in hopes of minimizing the need for long-term medications and injections.
