Pain Management Q & A
What is pain management?
Pain management is a holistic approach to treating chronic pain conditions such as:
- Joint pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Sciatica and other causes of back pain
- Postherpetic neuralgia
- Headaches and migraines
- Gout
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Post-surgical pain
Many doctors prescribe strong pain medication and treatments like steroid injections for inflammation, but these drugs can cause unpleasant and potentially hazardous side effects. Invasive surgery is also a frequent solution for treatment-resistant chronic pain.
Progressive Medical Center prefers natural methods of pain relief and less invasive alternatives to surgery to relieve pain. The practice has a comprehensive non-surgical center for pain that offers more treatment options than any other practice in the southeastern United States.
The Progressive Medical Center team finds the best solution for your pain based on the root cause of your condition. They then develop a personalized treatment plan for you that relieves your symptoms quickly and offers a lasting solution.
What medicines can help with pain management?
Rather than using conventional medications like prescription painkillers to treat chronic pain, Progressive Medical Center uses natural remedies, herbs, nutrients, and botanicals. The treatments include:
Hormone replacement and balancing
Hormone imbalance can cause or worsen many kinds of pain, including joint pain and headaches. As well as naturally rebalancing hormones through diet and supplements, Progressive Medical Center offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
Nutritional support
Nutritional counseling helps you make changes to your diet that increase your intake of anti-inflammatory nutrients and boost overall health. Probiotics (healthy gut bacteria supplements) can also help by improving your digestive health, which frequently influences chronic pain.
Detoxification programs
Detox therapy uses natural products to expel toxins from your body.
IV therapy
IV therapy involves delivering infusions of beneficial herbs, botanicals, and micronutrients directly into your bloodstream.
What interventional treatments can help with pain management?
Some of the extensive range of non-surgical interventions that Progressive Medical Center offers include:
Oxidative therapies
Oxidative therapies use substances like hydrogen peroxide, UV (ultraviolet) light, and ozone to boost free radical activity and combat infection.
Prolozone™ therapy
Prolozone therapy involves injecting ozone into the ligaments in your joints. It delivers extra oxygen and stimulates natural healing.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of really fine needles into specific points on your body.
Bioelectric treatments
