Pain Management Specialist

What is pain management?

Chronic pain, meaning pain that has persisted for several months, can lower your quality of life. Pain management is a personalized solution to minimize or stop the pain you experience so you can return to work and your daily activities, with few or no limitations.

The advanced science behind pain management often involves targeting specific nerves that are responsible for sending pain signals to your brain. Once these nerves are forced to relax, pain signaling decreases.

When should I see a pain management doctor?

It’s important to see a pain medicine specialist like Dr. Ojeyemi or Dr. Roh at Orthopedic & Wellness if you’re experiencing ongoing pain due to trauma or injury or due to chronic conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. You’re encouraged to schedule a pain management exam right away if your pain is:

• Making you miss work
• Keeping you up at night
• Leading to weakness in your limbs
• Associated with numbness, burning, or tingling
• Preventing you from participating in enjoyable activities
• Continuing to worsen or not improving after several months
