A pain management specialist evaluates acute and chronic pain to understand its possible source and determine suitable management options. Depending on the condition, this may involve medicines, rehabilitation, lifestyle measures or minimally invasive pain management procedures.
Some chronic pain conditions can be managed without surgery, but this depends on the underlying diagnosis and severity of the condition. Treatment may include conservative measures or minimally invasive pain management procedures. Patients should be individually evaluated before deciding on treatment.
Medical evaluation may be appropriate when pain persists, repeatedly returns, interferes with sleep or everyday activities, or does not improve adequately with initial treatment. Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms should be medically assessed promptly.
No. Sciatica does not automatically mean that surgery is required. Treatment depends on the cause of nerve irritation or compression, severity of symptoms and clinical findings. Some patients can be managed through non-surgical approaches, while certain conditions may require surgical evaluation.
Many causes of back pain may initially be managed using non-surgical approaches. However, the appropriate treatment depends on the cause of pain, neurological symptoms, imaging when clinically indicated and the patient’s overall condition.
Depending on the diagnosis and clinical indication, pain management may include procedures such as nerve blocks, radiofrequency-based procedures and image-guided injections. These treatments are not suitable for every patient and should only be considered after medical evaluation.
