Our pain management physicians have experience treating CRPS using a multidisciplinary approach that may include sympathetic nerve blocks, medications, physical therapy, spinal cord stimulation, and other advanced therapies designed to improve function and reduce pain.

The best treatment for sciatica depends on the cause of nerve compression. Common causes include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spinal arthritis.

Treatment options may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, epidural steroid injections, nerve-targeted procedures, and advanced interventional pain management techniques. Early evaluation can often help prevent symptoms from worsening.

Severe nerve pain is often best treated by a pain management specialist with expertise in neuropathic pain conditions. Symptoms may include burning pain, tingling, numbness, electric shock sensations, weakness, or hypersensitivity.

Choosing a pain management physician involves evaluating experience, training, reputation, and treatment options. Our board-certified pain management specialists are among the most established providers serving Charlotte, Belmont, Gastonia, Denver, Kings Mountain, Lake Wylie, and surrounding communities.

For years, primary care physicians, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, neurologists, and other healthcare providers have referred patients to our practice for comprehensive evaluations and advanced treatment options. We frequently care for patients with complex pain conditions that have not responded to previous treatments.

When pain strikes, uncertainty can be frustrating. You may wonder if the problem is serious, whether you need imaging, if you should see your primary care doctor, an orthopedic surgeon, a neurologist, or simply wait.

Rather than guessing, get answers.

Our experienced pain specialists evaluate new pain every day and frequently help patients identify the cause of their symptoms, understand their treatment options, and begin their recovery sooner. The sooner you know why you hurt, the sooner you can start feeling better.

That’s exactly why we are here.

Many patients know where they hurt but have no idea why. Whether your pain started suddenly or developed gradually, our physicians specialize in identifying the source of pain and developing a treatment plan based on your specific diagnosis.

You don’t need to know the cause before scheduling an appointment.

It is best to have a conversation if possible with your primary provider. However we know that can sometimes be difficult and the pain does not wait. Also, many patients start by seeing one provider, then another, and then another before finally finding answers.

A pain specialist is often able to evaluate many different causes of pain involving the spine, nerves, joints, muscles, and soft tissues. Starting with an experienced pain specialist may help streamline your care and get you on the road to recovery sooner.

No.

Many patients believe they need an MRI before making an appointment. In most cases, our physicians can perform a thorough evaluation first and determine whether imaging such as an MRI, CT scan, or X-ray is actually needed.

This can save both time and unnecessary expense.

Pain should be evaluated if it:

• Is severe or worsening
• Interferes with sleep
• Causes weakness or numbness
• Limits your ability to work or perform daily activities
• Persists longer than expected
• Occurred after an injury or accident

If you are unsure whether your pain is serious, it is always better to have it evaluated rather than hoping it goes away.

Many patients are surprised to learn that specialty pain clinics can often see new patients quickly. We know you want to be seen quickly and we aim to see new patients within 2 business days

Rather than waiting weeks for multiple appointments with different providers, our team can evaluate many common pain conditions, order appropriate testing when necessary, and begin treatment right away.

If you are hurting, call our office and we will do our best to get you seen at one of our locations as quickly as possible.

If pain is severe, interfering with your daily activities, causing weakness or numbness, or not improving after a few days, it is a good idea to seek medical attention.

Many patients wish they had come in sooner. Early diagnosis often leads to faster treatment and may prevent pain from becoming a chronic problem.

A pain management specialist is trained to evaluate many of the most common causes of back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, hip pain, nerve pain, and joint pain.

Our physicians evaluate the source of your pain, explain what may be causing it, and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you recover as quickly as possible.

Many people start with their primary care doctor. However, getting an appointment can sometimes take days or weeks, and many primary care physicians will then ultimately refer patients to a specialist if pain persists.

Seeing a  pain specialist early can help avoid delay because they focus on diagnosing and treating painful conditions every day. In many cases, seeing a pain specialist early can help you get answers and relief faster.

Not always. Some minor aches and strains improve on their own, but pain that is severe, worsening, affecting sleep, limiting movement, causing numbness or weakness, or lasting more than a few days should be evaluated.

The sooner the cause of your pain is identified, the sooner you can begin treatment and potentially avoid a longer recovery.
