How Our Pain Management Process Works

Just starting to explore pain management, having a clear picture of the steps involved can give you peace of mind. Below is a general overview of what the process looks like at our office.

7. Sustaining Your Results Over Time — When pain is tied to a long-term diagnosis, our practice partners with you to build a long-term management plan designed to maintain your progress long after your primary care phase ends.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pain Management

Patients considering pain management often have questions. These are direct answers to the questions we hear most often.

What should I expect to pay for pain management?

Pain management pricing varies widely based on the specific treatments involved, the number of sessions needed, and your insurance coverage. Most of the treatments we offer — including epidural injections, nerve blocks, and physical rehabilitation — are recognized by most insurers as medically necessary. A quick call to your insurance provider to understand what's covered before you begin.

How long does pain management treatment take to work?

The answer varies from patient to patient and treatment to treatment. Certain individuals experience improvement shortly after their first injection or procedure. For some patients, when the underlying issue is more involved, pain relief develops progressively as the care plan unfolds. Your provider will be transparent about what to expect from the beginning of care.

How is a nerve block different from an epidural injection?

These are both injectable pain treatments, but they target different structures and produce different effects. An epidural copyright injection places anti-inflammatory medicine into the space around the spinal nerve roots to calm multiple irritated nerve roots. Nerve blocks, on the other hand, is directed at a more precise nerve target — injecting anesthetic, copyright, or a combination — to block pain in a localized zone. Your pain management provider will guide you to the right choice based on the source and pattern of your pain.

Does having a prior surgery affect whether I qualify for pain management?

Absolutely — in fact, people who've had surgery are some of the most frequently seen pain management candidates we work with. Conditions like failed back surgery syndrome are well-recognized reasons for treatments like spinal cord stimulation and nerve blocks. If surgery didn't fully resolve your pain, or if new symptoms developed afterward, a structured pain management program may significantly improve your quality of life.

Will pain management fix my pain permanently?

Duration varies based on what's causing your pain. Certain procedures deliver results that hold for 12 to 24 months or longer. Treatments such as trigger point or joint injections may require periodic repeating but can be repeated safely. For patients with truly chronic conditions, the goal shifts from cure to management — which many patients find enormously valuable.
