What Is Pain Management?
Most people hear the term “pain management” and dread the decision when in fact there are many alternatives to medication. Some of those that our Pain Management Doctors in Amityville provide include: acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage therapy, orthopedic care, and physical therapy. It is all about creating a treatment plan that meets your needs and providing you the best care to treat your painful symptoms.
Symptoms Treated
Pain is subjective, meaning that there is no standard for measuring how you feel it. It is important to describe to your doctor exactly what symptoms you are experiencing. Some questions to think about when explaining your ailments to your doctor are:
- Where am I hurting?
- On a scale of one to ten, where does my experience fall?
- How long have I been in dealing with these symptoms? Are they consistent or in waves?
- What kind of pain am I in? Is it a stabbing or an ache?
- Do I have other symptoms?
- When am I experiencing these symptoms? When I wake up? When I go to sleep? When I eat?
- Is there anything I currently try to help alleviate it, such as over-the-counter medication?
- Is it lessened when I stand or sit?
