BHS Pain Care Services are comprehensive, personal, and highly effective-our goal is to give you more options, and less pain.
Whether it's a simple injection, an ongoing regimen of physical therapy, or employing the latest nonsurgical and surgical solutions, BHS Pain Services, along with our palliative care program, have successfully treated patients suffering from many different types of pain, including:
Palliative care is intended to provide an improved quality of life for patients with severe and life-threatening issues. Pain management is more general, offering relief to patients with less serious, but still chronically painful, illnesses. A physician will typically move a patient to palliative care if they believe the issue has advanced beyond standard pain care management.
Chronic pain is, as the name implies, pain that persists for extended periods of time, and may even be permanent. Our bodies experience pain so that we realize we need to do something to protect ourselves, but some conditions are not immediately curable, and the pain that occurs does us no good. Pain management programs teach patients strategies for coping with or eliminating pain. Treatment may include medication, low impact exercise, meditation, and participating in support groups. A doctor may also prescribe an anti-depressant to help deal with the mental stress that accompanies chronic pain.
There are numerous pain relievers you can by over-the-counter from a pharmacy. For the most part, these are perfectly safe and can be a major source of relief. Nonetheless, it important to ask your doctor about them and read the instructions carefully to make sure you take them appropriately. The side effects of a drug, when taken improperly, could end up doing serious damage to your body. It is also possible to become addicted to over-the-counter medications, so be sure to take them only at the frequency prescribed.
Back pain is a common problem, and nothing to take lightly. There are a number of possible causes for your pain, including a slipped disc, compressed fracture, or natural wear and tear from aging. To diagnose the specific cause of your problem, a doctor may need to take a blood test, or use an advanced imaging device like an MRI to check out your spine and muscle tissue. Most back pain issues can be resolved with simple treatments like medication or physical therapy. More serious conditions may require surgery.
