Pain management can benefit anyone suffering from acute pain due to an injury or chronic pain.

Some common conditions that may cause pain include:

• Arthritis
• Nerve damage
• Muscle and joint injuries
• Autoimmune disorders such as Lupus or Crohn's disease
• Endometriosis
• Chronic pain disorders
• Headaches

If you suffer from pain due to any of these conditions and need immediate care, visit our orthopedic urgent care walk-in clinic in Lexington, KY.

To create a pain management treatment plan, you must consult with one of our top-rated pain management specialists in Lexington. Your provider will ask questions about when the pain began, where you have pain, and what activities trigger the pain. They may ask if the pain is aching, burning, sharp, or throbbing. It's important to be as clear and descriptive as possible to determine the cause of the pain.

There are many non-surgical methods of pain management. Your plan will depend on the source of your pain and whether it is acute or chronic. The specialists at Bluegrass Orthopaedics will take your history into account before creating a plan that may include the following:

• RICE: Rest, ice, compression, and elevation
• Therapy: Certain therapy techniques can alter how your mind reacts to pain
• Physical therapy: Stretching and exercises may help manage and prevent pain
• Massage: Your provider can use a range of techniques to reduce pain
• Steroid injections: Can provide relief when injected in the affected area
• Medications: Your orthopedic specialist may recommend over-the-counter or prescribe pain control medications
• Lifestyle changes: Weight loss, a balanced diet, and managed stress levels can all reduce chronic pain
