Medication Therapy
For patients who do not respond to massage and chiropractic care alone, we offer medication therapy to help relieve symptoms of certain chronic pain syndromes. Generally, medication therapy is used in conjunction with physical therapy, chiropractic care or other rehabilitation therapies to ensure optimum results are achieved. We will work with you individually to determine what type of medication is needed to offer you the greatest level of relief from your symptoms. Several factors are considered in deciding the best medication treatment options, including your symptoms, health history, pain level and frequency, pain tolerance level, allergies and current medications you are taking.
Injection Therapy
For some, physical therapy, chiropractic care and even medication therapy aren’t effective in fully relieving the symptoms of chronic pain syndromes. In addition to some of these other treatment methods, injection therapy may also be used to help treat chronic and acute back pain and hip or shoulder pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
If you are suffering from chronic leg or arm pain, and have not found relief through traditional medical treatments, a spinal cord stimulator may be a suitable option for you. A spinal cord stimulator is surgically placed under the skin. It contains a small pulse generator that sends a mild electric current to the spinal cord to block the feeling of pain. The stimulation is similar to a mild tingling sensation. This device helps you to better cope with your pain, and may reduce the amount of pain medication you take.
Epidural Steroid Injection
For some, physical therapy, chiropractic care and even medication therapy aren’t effective in fully relieving the symptoms of chronic pain syndromes. In addition to some of these other treatment methods, injection therapy may also be used to help treat chronic and acute back pain and hip or shoulder pain.
