CHRONIC PAIN

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can be debilitating for people who suffer with it. It can affect any part of the body and can also weigh heavily on a patient’s mental health while struggling with it.

Chronic pain is usually associated with the irritation of a nerve or set of nerves somewhere in the body. It is our goal at AVALA Pain to figure out what is causing your pain, and help you manage it so you can get back to enjoying your life.

WHEN TO SEE A PAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST

  • If you take medication for headache pain almost every day, or if the prescribed dose fails to work.
  • Traditional medications fail to help, or have unmanageable side effects.
  • Headaches persist for greater than 72 hours, or occur more than once or twice a week.
  • Headaches disrupt daily routine or degrade quality of life.
  • You develop a headache with new patterns, symptoms or qualities that differ from your normal headaches.

Our interventional pain specialists can diagnose rare headache disorders and break the cycle of long-lasting or acute migraine headaches. They also are up-to-date on the full spectrum of headache medicines and the most effective treatments, including SPG injections (sphenopalatine ganglion blocks), RFA of the occipital nerve, and spinal cord stimulator.
