Pain management physician
A Pain Management Physician is a medical doctor specialized in diagnosing, treating, and managing chronic and acute pain. These physicians use a comprehensive approach that may include medication management, physical therapy, interventional procedures (such as nerve blocks or injections), and non-surgical techniques to relieve pain and improve quality of life. They commonly treat conditions such as back pain, arthritis, nerve pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and post-surgical pain. With advanced training in pain physiology and pain-relief methods, pain management physicians aim to address the root cause of discomfort and help patients regain function and mobility.
