When Should You Consider Paragon Pain Management

 Your body "communicates" about an injury, illness or a medical condition using pain. It’s your body's way of sending you a message that something needs attention.

There are generally two kinds of pain: acute and chronic. Acute pain is not long lasting. Your physician will help determine the source of pain and control or stop the pain with a customized treatment plan. Chronic pain is long lasting and more challenging to manage. Arthritis is an example of chronic pain.

Paragon Pain management helps you regulate pain with medications, procedures, exercises and therapy. Our Pain management specialists may recommend one approach or a combination of several to prevent, reduce or relieve pain.

Some Facts About Pain:

●     Everyone experiences pain, usually many times in their lifetime.

●     Pain is experienced on a spectrum and can come and go, depending on the cause of the pain.

●     There are three types of pain: nociceptive pain (tissue damage), neuropathic pain (nerve dysfunction or damage), and inflammatory pain (immune system related).

●     An estimated 50-plus million U.S. adults are experiencing chronic pain.

●     Common causes of acute pain include broken bones, strained muscles, surgery and infections.

●     Approximately 65 million Americans experience back pain, one of the most frequent complaints doctors hear.

These facts about pain indicate that over a third of adult Americans are living with pain.

Just as the cause and type of pain can be diverse, so are the treatments to provide patients with life-changing relief from their symptoms. Common treatments at Paragon pain management include: prescription pain medication like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, physical therapy, heat/cold therapy, massage, acupuncture, nerve blocks, Carpel Carpal Tunnel Injections, Joint injection, Facet joint injection, Trigger point injections, Therapeutic Nerve Blocks, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), Pain pumps, Ultrasound guided injection, and cognitive behavioral therapy depending on the type and severity of pain.

Anyone with pain — either acute or chronic pain — can benefit from a Paragon pain management plan. A comprehensive plan can help you manage pain that lasts a few days (such as after an injury or surgery). It can also help if you have long-term pain from health conditions.

At our Paragon Health Group, we provide our patients with the expertise, diversity, years of experience, and skills of our clinical team
