Pain Management

You don't have to live through your pain alone.

Three Rivers Pain Management works to ease pain and allows you to live in as much comfort as possible.

Pain can be helpful when it is acute — sudden onset and short-lived — as it serves as an alert of damage to the body. If an alarm triggers, we want it to stop! If pain continues for a long period of time, it can cause a significant physical and emotional impact. Ongoing pain can also impact different organ systems including heart rate, nausea, vomiting, sleep deprivation as well as the healing process.

Time to See a Specialist

You should see your physician or pain specialist if your pain is getting worse, radiating down your legs, causing weakness in your legs, or creating bowel or bladder incontinence. Our specialist focuses on the patient history, physical exams, and diagnostic testing to treat the pain.

Such treatments can include epidural injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation which kills the nerve to help with pain.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, please consult your primary care provider or specialist for a referral:

• Back pain (including pain caused by degenerative disc or joint disease, sciatica pain and spinal stenosis)
• Joint pain (including but not limited to the hip, shoulder, knee, and elbow)
• Headaches and migraines
• Neck and spine pain
• Post-surgery pain
• Post-accident pain
• Complex regional pain
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Thoracic pain
• Myofascial pain
• Post-herpetic neuralgia (shingles pain)

If you experience persistent pain that keeps you from the activities you enjoy, Three Rivers Pain Management is open every other Friday. Appointments are by referral only. If you have any questions, please call 606-638-7018.
