Medication management is the process of prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting medications to help manage pain. This approach is designed to ensure that patients receive the right medication, in the correct dosage, and at the right time to achieve optimal pain relief. Our team of pain management specialists works closely with patients to develop a personalized medication management plan that meets their individual needs.
Pre-surgical pain consultation is a service that helps you manage your pain and discomfort before, during, and after surgery. It involves developing a customized pain management plan that takes into account your specific surgical procedure, medical history, and other factors that may impact your recovery.
Facet joints are small joints in the spine that help guide movement and stability. Irritation or arthritis in these joints may contribute to neck pain, mid-back pain, low back pain, stiffness, or pain that worsens with certain movements.
Pacific Pain & Wellness Group evaluates symptoms, physical exam findings, imaging history, prior treatment, and functional limitations before recommending facet joint injections or related procedures.
Botox may be considered for selected patients with chronic migraine after a clinical evaluation. Chronic migraine is commonly associated with frequent headache days, recurring migraine symptoms, and functional disruption that persists despite prior treatment efforts.
Spinal cord stimulation, or SCS, is an advanced pain management option for selected chronic pain conditions that have not improved enough with conservative care, medication management, injections, or other non-surgical treatment paths. It uses mild electrical impulses near the spinal cord to change how pain signals are processed.
What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that involves heating up a small area of a nerve to disrupt the transmission of pain signals to the brain. RFA provides long-term pain relief for patients with chronic pain in the lower back, neck, and joints, and is often used to relieve arthritis pain.
How does Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Treatment work?
Nerve blocks are image-guided or anatomically guided injections used in pain management to target nerves that may be contributing to pain. Depending on the clinical goal, a nerve block may help clarify a pain source, reduce pain signals, or support a broader treatment plan.
Pacific Pain & Wellness Group evaluates pain location, symptom pattern, neurological findings, imaging history, prior treatment response, medications, and safety considerations before recommending a nerve block.
Chronic pain can affect movement, sleep, mood, work, relationships, and quality of life. It may come from nerve pain, spine conditions, joint problems, prior injury, post-surgical pain, complex regional pain syndrome, headaches, or pain that persists after an initial injury has healed.
Ketamine infusions for chronic pain may be considered for carefully selected patients whose pain has not improved enough with standard treatments. Pacific Pain & Wellness Group offers physician-guided ketamine infusion care in Torrance for patients across the South Bay and greater Los Angeles area.
