What is pain management?

Pain management enables patients to cope with severe and/or ongoing pain. It’s particularly helpful for chronic (long-term) pain. Many people live with chronic pain for years. It can often be incurable, making pain management even more essential.

Chronic pain conditions frequently cause loss of function and disability. They also limit your ability to work, study, or participate in leisure activities. Struggling with pain every day is exhausting and increases your risk of depression and anxiety.

With the Body & Mind Consulting team’s pain management expertise, you can live independently and enjoy a better quality of life. They use a functional medicine approach to pain management, identifying and addressing every factor contributing to your pain, from diet and exercise to stress and hormonal imbalances.

What conditions might require pain management?

Any health problem or injury causing pain and/or reduced function will benefit from pain management. The Body & Mind Consulting team has particular expertise in disorders like:

• Headaches and migraines
• Facial pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic fatigue
• Neuropathic pain
• Arthritis
• Acute muscle and joint pain
• Back and neck pain

The team’s experienced pain management specialists assess each patient individually. They complete a physical exam, review the patient’s medical history, and discuss their symptoms. 

In some cases, they might perform diagnostic imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, MRI/CT), electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction velocity (NCV) tests, and/or lab tests when necessary.

What will my pain management program contain?

Your provider combines the most appropriate treatments to create your initial pain management program. Options include:

• Physical therapy
• Exercise modifications
• Nutrition counseling
• Dietary supplements
• Detoxification
• Phytonutrients (health-promoting plant extracts)
• Help to quit smoking and other bad habits
• Sonal Personalized Braincare™
• Weight management
• Sleep restoration
• Stress management
• Meditation and yoga
• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

Body & Mind Consulting also uses cutting-edge LightStim therapy to treat pain. LightStim uses light wavelengths ranging from light and dark red to infrared and deep infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

These light rays increase blood circulation and tissue temperature, typically reducing pain within 24 hours. LightStim is especially helpful for fibromyalgia, arthritis, and muscle or joint injuries.

Some patients might benefit from medication management, taking drugs like low-dose antidepressants or anti-seizure medicines. However, these need careful supervision to prevent side effects and addiction, so the nonpharmaceutical treatments Body & Mind Consulting uses have significant advantages.
