Why Do People Seek Long Term Pain Procedures?
People usually consider long term pain procedures when:
- Pain has persisted for months or years
- Daily activities are affected
- Previous short-term treatments have not provided lasting relief
- There is a need for ongoing, structured pain management
Common situations include chronic joint pain, lower back discomfort, neck stiffness, post-injury pain, and pain from degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis.
Examples of Long-Term Pain Procedures
Long term pain procedures can vary depending on the cause, location, and severity of pain. Some of the commonly recommended options include:
- Joint Injections – For inflammation and pain in areas like knees, shoulders, or hips.
- Nerve Blocks – Targeted procedures to help reduce pain signals from specific nerves.
- Epidural Steroid Injections – Often used for persistent back or neck pain caused by nerve irritation.
- Trigger Point Injections – For muscle pain and tension knots that do not resolve with basic therapy.
- Radiofrequency Ablation – A minimally invasive method that uses heat to reduce nerve pain signals.
These procedures are performed in a controlled, medical environment and follow strict safety protocols.
What Causes the Need for Long Term Pain Procedures?
Chronic pain can arise from many underlying causes. The most common include:
- Arthritis – Joint inflammation causing stiffness and pain.
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Age-related changes in spinal discs.
- Nerve Compression – From herniated discs or bone spurs.
