The
OPA Pain Management Program offers a comprehensive approach to pain
management including state-of-the-art medical care. All patients are
evaluated by a Board Certified physician who has had extensive training
and experience in the management of pain.
Our
patients are seen by appointment only and are referred from various
sources. Each of our patients have also had differing levels of diagnostic
evaluations prior to arrival in our clinic.
We
provide an extensive array of procedures. These include:
I.
Nerve blocks
Various
spine related nerve and joint injections as well as radio frequency
and intradiscal therapies and peripheral nerve related procedures.
II.
Surgical intervention
placement
of dorsal column stimulators
pump implantation for delivery of intraspinal medications
III.
Comprehensive management
including
referral for psychological counseling and supportive care
IV.
Ancillary services by referral
hypnosis
acupuncture
biofeedback
Many
of our efforts are focused on providing specific nerve blocks which
interrupt pain pathways. Local anesthetics and anti-inflammatory agents
such as steroid medications as well as narcotics or neurolytic agents
that chemically destroy nerve tissue may be utilized. This provides
a vast array of options available to our patients.
