Pain Management

Personalized treatment plans for chronic and acute pain relief

About Pain Management

The pain management program at M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group is dedicated to helping patients find lasting relief from chronic and acute pain through personalized, multimodal treatment plans. Chronic pain affects millions of older adults and can significantly diminish quality of life, limiting mobility, disrupting sleep, and contributing to depression and social isolation. Our pain management specialists take the time to understand the root cause of your pain — whether it stems from arthritis, nerve damage, spinal conditions, or post-surgical discomfort — and develop a comprehensive plan that may include medication management, therapeutic injections, nerve blocks, physical therapy, and referrals for minimally invasive procedures. At M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group, we believe that effective pain management is not just about reducing pain scores; it is about restoring your ability to live an active, fulfilling life. We coordinate closely with our orthopedic, vascular, and rehabilitation teams to ensure every aspect of your care works together.

What to Expect

Your initial pain management visit includes a detailed assessment of your pain history, a physical examination, and review of any prior imaging or test results. Your specialist will work with you to identify the type, location, and triggers of your pain. Together, you will develop a treatment plan that may include medications, injections, nerve blocks, physical therapy referrals, or recommendations for interventional procedures. Follow-up visits allow your doctor to adjust the plan as needed to achieve the best possible results.

Who Is This For?

Pain management services are for adults living with chronic pain from arthritis, back or neck problems, neuropathy, post-surgical pain, or other conditions who are seeking a comprehensive, coordinated approach to relief and improved quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of pain do you treat?
We treat a wide range of pain conditions including osteoarthritis, back and neck pain, sciatica, neuropathy, post-surgical pain, joint pain, and musculoskeletal pain. Our goal is to identify the source of your pain and address it with the most effective, least invasive approach.
Are opioids the only option for chronic pain?
Absolutely not. Our pain management team emphasizes a multimodal approach that includes non-opioid medications, therapeutic injections, nerve blocks, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Opioids are used only when medically appropriate and are carefully monitored.
What are nerve blocks and how do they work?
Nerve blocks are injections of medication near specific nerves to interrupt pain signals. They can provide significant relief for conditions like sciatica, joint pain, and neuropathy. The procedure is performed in-office with imaging guidance for precision and typically takes only minutes.
How long does it take to see results from a pain management plan?
Some treatments, like injections and nerve blocks, can provide relief within days. A comprehensive pain management plan may take several weeks to fully optimize as your doctor adjusts medications and therapies based on your response. Consistent follow-up is key to long-term success.
Can pain management help me avoid surgery?
In many cases, yes. Effective pain management can reduce symptoms to the point where surgery is no longer necessary or can be significantly delayed. Our team works closely with orthopedic and interventional radiology specialists to explore all non-surgical options first.
