There are two kinds of pain: acute and chronic. Acute pain usually comes from trauma, such as a neck injury or a broken bone. The pain may be severe, but it doesn’t continue after you’ve healed. Chronic pain, however, goes on and on, seemingly without end. No matter what kind of pain you’re experiencing, how long it lasts or what caused it, you need relief. We offer the most effective treatments so you heal properly. Call today for an appointment.
Most often, the pain you feel comes from a discernable source. If you stub your toe, you feel that pain. Sometimes, though, your pain has no discernable cause. Whether you’re experiencing acute pain that came on suddenly or chronic pain that’s lasted for months, your physician ensures an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
The Medex Diagnostic and Treatment Center is a multi-disciplinary practice with specialties ranging from gynecology and cardiology to orthopedics and urology. Referrals are seamless, so you always have access to the specialist you need. Whether you report pain to your physician or visit our team directly, you find solutions at Medex.
After surgery or while you recover from an injury, severe pain inhibits your body’s ability to heal effectively. Pain can lead to complications, such as depression and anxiety. Without the pain, you can rest, allowing your body to do its work.
For acute pain, your physician prescribes the best short-term solution because the worst pain will end in a week or so. Chronic pain cases require more finesse. Our physician understands the complexities of pain and the dangers of pain medication. When the risk of addiction to oral painkillers is present, your physician finds other effective treatments.
