Interventional procedures such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and facet joint injections deliver medication directly to pain sources.

By combining the latest in medical technology with compassionate care, we strive to optimize pain relief and improve the overall well-being of our community. Your journey to better pain management starts here, with us.

Our diagnostic process begins with an in-depth patient interview, where we gather essential information about your medical history, lifestyle, and specific pain characteristics such as onset, duration, intensity, and any factors that alleviate or worsen the pain. We also explore how pain affects your daily activities and emotional well-being. During the physical examination, we assess posture, range of motion, sensitivity, and other critical physical findings while also evaluating neurological function by testing reflexes, strength, and sensation to detect any nerve involvement.

At Comprehensive Pain of the Palm Beaches, we use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately identify and address the sources of pain. Our imaging technologies include X-rays to evaluate bone structures, MRIs for detailed soft tissue imaging, and CT scans to create cross-sectional views of bones, blood vessels, and organs.

Electrophysiological assessments, such as Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS), help evaluate nerve and muscle function by measuring electrical activity and impulse conduction, aiding in the diagnosis of nerve damage or muscle disorders.

Diagnostic interventional procedures are crucial in pinpointing pain sources. Local anesthetic blocks temporarily numb specific areas to determine pain origins, while facet joint injections identify small spine joints contributing to back pain. Radiofrequency ablation precisely targets and destroys pain-transmitting nerve fibers, offering both diagnosis and treatment.

We also employ comprehensive diagnostic tools to address all aspects of pain. Psychological evaluations uncover emotional or mental health factors influencing pain, laboratory tests detect conditions like infections or autoimmune disorders, and standardized pain questionnaires measure pain intensity and its impact on daily activities.

This thorough diagnostic approach ensures that every aspect of your pain is assessed, enabling us to create personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

We rule out non-painful conditions to accurately identify the source, which could include:

● Musculoskeletal Issues: Such as injuries, arthritis, or back problems.
● Neuropathic Pain: Resulting from nerve damage due to trauma, disease, or surgery.
● Visceral Pain: Linked to internal organs or tissues.
● Psychogenic Pain: Arising from psychological or emotional factors.

By integrating data from diverse sources, we develop a thorough understanding of your pain, leading to an accurate diagnosis and the creation of an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our commitment is to enhance your quality of life through effective pain management solutions.
