Conditions

Comprehensive Pain Medicine can help patients with many conditions including:

• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Pelvic Pain
• Shingles—an infection that results from the reactivation of the same virus that causes chickenpox (the varicella virus). It causes a painful rash of blisters that is isolated in a broad band on one side of the body.
• Post Herpetic Neuralgia—a complication of shingles, even after the acute rash subsides, pain can persist or recur in shingles-affected areas.
• Neuralgia—a sharp, severe, shooting pain along a nerve or group of nerves caused by irritation or damage. The location of the pain depends on the condition that causes it and the location of the nerve that is irritated.
• Spinal Stenosis—a narrowing of areas of the spine, caused by degenerative changes of the vertebrae. Spinal stenosis can cause cramping, pain or numbness in your legs, back, neck, shoulders or arms; a loss of sensation in your extremities; and sometimes problems with bladder or bowel function.
• Degenerative Disc Disease—is not really a disease but a term used to describe the normal changes in your spinal discs as you age. The intervertebral discs can become stiff and rigid, causing pain and other symptoms. (Read more at WebMD.)
• Spondylosis—also known as spinal osteoarthritis. It is characterized by degeneration of the spine and caused by excessive wear and tear on cartilage and bones of the spine.
• Radiculopathy—pain, or other symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness in your arms or legs that are caused by a problem with one or more nerve roots. (Read more at Back.com)
• Sciatica—a type of radiculopathy that travels from the low back through the buttock and down the large sciatic nerve in the back of the leg.
• Herniated Discs—when the cushion(or disc) that sits between the spinal vertebra is pushed outside its normal position it can sit on or pinch a nerve root—causing pain.
• Phantom Limb Pain—After amputation of a limb, an amputee may continue to have an awareness of it and to experience sensations from it.
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)—an uncommon, chronic condition that usually affects the arm or leg. You may experience intense burning or aching pain along with swelling, skin discoloration, altered temperature, abnormal sweating and hypersensitivity in the affected area.
• Headache/Migraines
• Pain From Motor Vehicle Accidents
