Non Surgical Spine Care
Non Surgical Spine Care
Non-surgical care forms the foundation of our practice and we spend considerable amounts to time pursuing non-surgical treatment modalities before recommending surgery. In keeping with our philosophy of a multi-disciplinary approach to spinal care we offer the following non-surgical services.
Medications for Pain
Pain medications are a quick and effective way of coping with mild to severe pain. While these drugs do not treat the cause of the pain, they can provide enough relief to make people more comfortable and to allow them to carry out their daily routines. Most analgesics take from 30 to 60 minutes to start working if taken in tablet form. Intravenous or injected pain relivers are often much quicker to take effect.
Types of pain medications
There are two primary types of pain medications :
- Non-Narcotic Pain Medications :Non-narcotic pain medications, also known as non-opioids. These medications are milder forms of analgesics and include acetaminophen, the most commonly used over the counter non-narcotic analgesic. Other drugs are not technically part of the analgesic family, but are nonetheless considered analgesics in practice. These include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
- Narcotic Pain Medications :Narcotic pain medications, also known as opioids. These medications are stronger analgesics that are used when pain signals are too severe to be controlled by non-narcotic analgesics. Analgesics in this category include natural narcotics (derived from the opium poppy), such as morphine and codeine, and synthetic narcotics.
Pain Management
Pain management is important for ongoing pain control, especially if you suffer with long-term or chronic pain. After getting a pain assessment, your doctor can prescribe pain medicine, other pain treatments, or psychotherapy to help with pain relief.
What’s Your Best Pain Management Plan?
Each person and their pain are unique. The best way to manage your case could be very different from what works for someone else.
Your treatment will depend upon things such as:
- The cause
- How intense it is
- How long it’s lasted
- What makes it worse or better
Be sure to share that information with health professional you work with. It will help them find the right solutions for you.
