Living with chronic pain is a reality for many, often overshadowing life's joys and daily activities. At White Mountain Regional Medical Center, we understand the profound impact pain can have—not just physically, but emotionally and socially too. That’s why we are excited to introduce our upcoming Intervention Pain Management Program, designed to help you reclaim your life from pain without relying on the use of opioids. What that means is that instead of having to rely on habit-forming or addictive prescriptions, we will utilize localized and specialized procedures to treat pain at its source without utilizing addictive prescriptions like opioids.
Reconnecting with Life
Imagine enjoying a morning walk, playing with your grandchildren, or simply completing daily tasks without the shadow of pain. Our goal is to make these simple pleasures accessible again to those who have been sidelined by chronic pain. Our new program offers hope and a path forward, focusing on treatments that manage pain effectively while promoting overall well-being.
Introducing Safe and Effective Pain Management Techniques
As we delve deeper into what our Interventional Pain Management Program entails, you'll find a suite of advanced, precise techniques aimed at treating various types of pain without the complications of opioids:
Guided Blocks and Injections: Utilizing the latest in ultrasound and fluoroscopic technology, we can pinpoint the exact sources of pain through methods like the thoracic paravertebral block and hip injections. These targeted approaches allow for direct treatment of painful areas, offering relief without systemic side effects.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): For those enduring persistent joint or nerve pain, RFA provides a remarkable solution. This technique uses thermal energy to disrupt pain signals at their source, granting prolonged periods of relief and an opportunity to engage in physical therapy and rehabilitation with less discomfort.
Botox for Chronic Migraines: Beyond its cosmetic uses, Botox is a proven tool in preventing the onset of migraine headaches. By administering these injections, we can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines, enabling a clearer, more enjoyable day-to-day experience.
Specialized Epidural and Joint Injections: Tailored specifically for back and joint pain, these injections deliver anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medication right where it's needed, dramatically reducing inflammation and allowing for a quicker return to normal activities.
