Comprehensive Pain Management at Epion Pain: Conditions We Treat and Services We Offer
At Epion Pain Management, we understand that chronic pain is not just a physical condition—it can affect every aspect of a patient’s life. Whether it’s debilitating back pain, persistent joint discomfort, or nerve-related issues, our team, led by Dr. Annemarie Gallagher, offers personalized care designed to address both the symptoms and the root causes of pain. We specialize in providing a comprehensive approach to pain management with the goal of helping patients regain their quality of life.
What is Comprehensive Pain Management?
Pain management is the process of diagnosing, treating, and mitigating pain through various methods tailored to the patient’s individual condition. Comprehensive pain management, as practiced at Epion Pain, takes a holistic approach. This means we consider the full spectrum of physical, mental, and emotional factors contributing to the patient’s pain. Whether the pain is due to injury, medical conditions, or lifestyle factors, our treatments are designed to provide relief and promote long-term health and wellness.
Conditions We Treat at Epion Pain Management
Dr. Gallagher and her team specialize in treating a wide range of pain conditions, from common aches to more complex, chronic disorders. Below are some of the primary conditions we treat:
1. Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek pain management services. Whether the pain is acute or chronic, it can be caused by a variety of issues, including herniated discs, muscle strains, or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. At Epion Pain, we focus on both the relief of back pain symptoms and addressing the underlying causes. Our treatments may include injections, physical therapy recommendations, or minimally invasive procedures to provide long-term relief.
2. Neck Pain
Neck pain, often caused by muscle strain, whiplash, or cervical disc issues, can interfere with daily activities and overall comfort. Dr. Gallagher provides personalized treatment plans, which may include cervical injections, nerve blocks, or therapeutic exercises, to help patients regain mobility and live pain-free.
3. Joint Pain
Joint pain can be caused by arthritis, injury, or overuse, and it often impacts major joints such as the knees, shoulders, and hips. At Epion Pain, we treat joint pain through targeted therapies like steroid injections, nerve blocks, and viscosupplementation, a procedure in which lubricating fluid is injected into the joint to improve mobility and reduce pain.
4. Nerve Pain (Neuropathy)
Nerve pain, also known as neuropathy, often results from damaged or dysfunctional nerves. It can manifest as sharp, burning pain or tingling sensations, most commonly in the hands and feet. Our team uses a combination of medications, nerve blocks, and cutting-edge therapies to manage neuropathic pain and improve patient comfort.
5. Headaches and Migraines
Chronic headaches and migraines can significantly impair quality of life. At Epion Pain, we provide treatments such as nerve blocks, and trigger point injections to help alleviate pain and reduce the frequency of headaches.
6. Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness in the muscles. Since the cause of fibromyalgia is not well understood, it requires a comprehensive treatment plan. Dr. Gallagher uses a multimodal approach, combining medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications to help patients manage their symptoms.
7. Arthritis Pain
Arthritis is a degenerative condition that causes inflammation and pain in the joints. At Epion Pain, we treat arthritis with a combination of anti-inflammatory medications, injections, and lifestyle changes that help patients maintain their mobility and minimize discomfort.
8. Sciatica
Sciatica is nerve pain that radiates from the lower back down through the legs. This condition is often caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, typically due to a herniated disc or bone spur. Our treatments include injections, nerve blocks, and physical therapy to reduce inflammation and relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Services We Offer at Epion Pain Management
At Epion Pain, we are committed to providing a wide array of services to address the different types of pain experienced by our patients. Below are some of the key services we offer:
1. Interventional Pain Management
Interventional pain management refers to minimally invasive procedures that target the source of the pain. This includes:
- Epidural Steroid Injections: Used to reduce inflammation around the nerves in the spine, providing relief from back and leg pain.
- Facet Joint Injections: Targeting the small joints in the spine to reduce pain caused by arthritis or injury.
- Nerve Blocks: These injections block the pain signals being sent from specific nerves, providing temporary or long-term pain relief.
2. Physical Therapy
For many patients, physical therapy is a crucial component of pain management. Our team works closely with physical therapists to ensure patients are following exercise regimens that strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery.
3. Medication Management
Managing pain often involves medications, from anti-inflammatory drugs to more advanced treatments. Dr. Gallagher carefully monitors and adjusts medication plans to provide the most effective relief while minimizing side effects.
4. Regenerative Medicine
At Epion Pain, we also explore the potential of regenerative medicine to help heal damaged tissues and reduce pain. This may include stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, which promote natural healing within the body.
5. Trigger Point Injections
Trigger points are sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers that can cause pain in various parts of the body. Trigger point injections can provide relief by relaxing these tight muscles, reducing pain, and improving movement.
