Is pain management right for me?

Your Carmichael Medical Clinic specialist determines if you’re a candidate for pain management and which treatments are best after discussing your medical history and symptoms. 

They also check your vital signs, complete a physical exam, and may order blood tests, imaging procedures, or other tests to diagnose the cause of chronic pain and properly treat it.

What are the available pain management solutions?

The Carmichael Medical Clinic team may recommend one or more of the following pain management solutions:

• Oral medications
• Trigger point injections
• Pain-relieving injections
• Physical therapy
• Medically supervised weight loss
• Health and nutrition education

For trigger point injections, your provider injects a solution into a tight band of tissue fibers (trigger points) to reduce tension and minimize pain.

Your specialist personalizes each treatment to your needs. They follow up with you in person or virtually to ensure highly effective, long-lasting, and pain-reducing outcomes, and they may alter your treatment plan as you begin to heal and experience less discomfort.
