What Does a Pain Management Specialist Do?

Pain specialists help people with pain from many causes. They work alongside other specialists, including orthopedic surgeons, rehabilitation specialists, and mental health professionals, to design individualized treatment plans. Pain control methods include the most advanced medical and interventional options and complementary techniques such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and daily movement. The goal is to find the right treatment approach to help you control your pain and get back to enjoying an active life.

Who Can Benefit from Pain Management?

Pain management can benefit anyone suffering from acute pain due to an injury or chronic pain. Treatment plans may only last a few days when recovering from an injury or surgery, while more extended treatment plans can be created for those suffering from long-term 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.

How is a Pain Management Treatment Plan Created?

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.

What are the Different Types of Pain Management?

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

Dr. Huff is a very personable and friendly orthopedist yet professional. He helped ease my fear of getting knee injections for severe pain and now my knees don’t hurt nearly as much. Highly recommend his services!

Dr. Vasicek explained every procedure and showed me my MRI so I could understand what was wrong and what she could do for me. I was really in pain and I needed someone to help me, she melted all my fears and took action. She checked on me often after surgery and I really felt that she understood. She really listened. Thanks to her, I am happy with my new Christmas Knee.

Ineed someone to fix my bone deterioration. These guy’s have taken care of me with great concern and insight.They do not want to do surgery first thing. Some of the brightest and innovative doctors in Lexington. Thank you Bluegrass Orthopaedics.
