Did you know that an estimated 50.2 million Americans experience chronic pain that limits their mobility and reduces their quality of life? At HealthyU Clinics, our physicians provide holistic and interventional pain management services to treat chronic pain, giving patients the relief they need.

What is Pain Management?

Pain management addresses chronic pain and the underlying conditions that cause it, such as diabetes, arthritis, cancer, degenerative spine conditions, and neuropathy. Chronic pain is that which lasts for six months or longer and can occur anywhere in the body—although it’s most common in the back, neck, shoulders, and knees. We offer treatments for a range of conditions and the pain they cause.

When to Seek Treatment

If you’re experiencing chronic pain that doesn’t improve with prescription medications, rest, or other remedies, it’s time to schedule an appointment with a pain management specialist. We offer treatments for aching, burning, tingling, stabbing, and other forms of chronic pain.

We start by performing a physical exam, lab work, and diagnostic testing to identify the cause of your pain and determine how severe it is. Once we have the lab and testing results, we will create a customized care plan that will help you achieve lasting relief.

What Treatment Entails

Our goal is to create personalized treatment plans that help patients manage their chronic pain to improve overall function and quality of life. Our treatment goals are comprehensive, ranging from holistic integrative care, medication management, injections, and interventional procedures.

Common Conditions We See

We have proven pain management plans that treat conditions such as:

Headache Medicine

While the occasional headache isn’t a cause for concern, chronic headaches or migraines require professional medical attention. Our headache medicine services treat cluster headaches, migraines, and other types of headaches, often by prescribing headache medications that minimize pain.

When Headache Medicine Is Necessary

If you experience persistent or recurring headaches that hinder your ability to function, headache medicine may be right for you. We have treatment options for:

Tension Headaches

Tension headaches are caused by overly tight muscles in the back and neck area. The pain they cause can range from mild to severe and can affect one or both sides of your head.

Cluster Headaches

Cluster headaches cause intense pain behind the eye on one side of your head. They can also cause eyelid swelling, watery eyes, and nasal congestion. These headaches can last for weeks or even months at a time.

Migraines

Migraines cause an intense throbbing sensation in the head. You may also suffer from nausea, vomiting, or enhanced sensitivity to light. Symptoms can last for several hours or days at a time.

When to Schedule a Consultation

If you suffer from chronic headaches or migraines that cause unmanageable symptoms, schedule a consultation with HealthyU Clinics. Our providers will meet with you to discuss your symptoms and perform a series of tests to identify the cause of the headaches and determine a solution that will increase your quality of life.
