Pain Management Therapy and Top Doctors

If you suffer from chronic pain, visiting a physician who specializes in pain management is essential to your health. Chronic pain prevents you from living your life to the fullest, and can have medical consequences such as a lowered immune response and depression. Pain management specialists are best equipped to address the complex problems associated with chronic pain.

Pain Management Therapy

When treating patients who suffer from chronic pain, doctors must address both the pain and its underlying cause. This dual purpose makes pain management a distinct area of medicine. Pain specialists often incorporate a range of research findings and cutting-edge techniques in order to provide long-lasting relief from pain.

Choosing a Physician

There is no reason to live with chronic pain, and pain is not a normal part of aging. If you experience chronic pain, you should make an appointment with physician who specializes in the treatment of pain. As you research physicians, ask the following questions: 

• Is the doctor board-certified in pain management?
• How long has the doctor worked in the field?
• What is the doctor's area of expertise? For example, back pain patients have different needs than cancer patients.
• What treatments does the doctor offer? Are minimally invasive treatments available?
• Has the physician stayed active in pain research?
• Does the doctor have good bedside manner?
• Does the office accept your insurance?
• Does the doctor work to keep costs as low as possible?

One of the most valuable tools when researching a physician is the Internet. Review websites like ZocDoc host reviews from a wide range of past patients, allowing you to get a broad perspective on what people have experienced with a doctor. In addition, your friends, family, or primary physician may be a reliable source of recommendations.
