WHAT IS PAIN TREATMENT?
Pain treatment is medical care that finds the cause of your pain and reduces it so you can move, work and sleep more comfortably. It treats pain in the spine, joints, muscles and nerves, whether it started recently or has lasted for months.
Care starts with an exam to find where the pain comes from. Your plan may include physical therapy, medication, targeted injections or minimally invasive procedures. At MVM Health, pain specialists build a personalized plan based on your symptoms and medical history.

HOW DO PAIN TREATMENTS HELP?
Pain treatments aim to address the underlying causes of discomfort, reduce symptoms, and support better physical function. The benefits depend on the type of pain, its severity, and the patient’s overall health.
REDUCE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT
Appropriate treatments may help manage persistent pain, inflammation, and discomfort that interfere with everyday activities.
IMPROVE MOBILITY AND FLEXIBILITY
Managing pain and stiffness may help patients move more comfortably and perform routine activities with greater ease.
SUPPORT DAILY ACTIVITIES
Pain treatments can help reduce limitations that affect walking, sitting, working, sleeping, and other daily tasks.
IMPROVE LONG-TERM PAIN MANAGEMENT
A personalized care plan can help patients manage recurring symptoms, monitor progress, and make adjustments when needed.
EXPLORE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PAIN TREATMENTS
Pain management treatment options range from physical therapy and medication to image-guided injections and minimally invasive procedures. Your MVM Health specialist recommends the right option based on the cause of your pain, how long you have had it, and how it affects your daily life.
Conservative care
Physical therapy, guided exercise, activity changes and medication guidance are often the first steps, especially for strains and early disc problems.
Anti-inflammatory medicine is placed near irritated spinal nerves to ease pain that radiates into an arm or leg, such as from a herniated disc or stenosis.
Medicine is placed in or near the small joints of the spine to ease arthritis pain. A positive response also helps confirm where the pain starts.
Controlled heat quiets the small nerves that carry pain signals from arthritic spine joints. It’s often considered after a successful nerve block.
A small device sends mild electrical pulses that change how pain signals reach the brain. It’s used for long-term pain that hasn’t responded to other care, and it starts with a short trial.
Platelets from your own blood may support healing in some joint and soft-tissue conditions. Your provider will tell you whether it’s a reasonable option for you.
Schedule Your Consultation
Our Diagnostic Approach to Post-Surgical Pain
At MVM Health, our primary focus is to uncover the true source of your persistent pain. When discomfort continues after a previous spine surgery, our specialists begin with a detailed review of your medical history and a thorough discussion of your current symptoms. This is followed by a comprehensive physical and neurological examination to assess your mobility, nerve function, and areas of tenderness or muscle spasm. To gain deeper insight, we may recommend advanced imaging—such as an MRI or CT scan—to evaluate for structural changes, scar tissue, or other unresolved issues. Our goal is to provide you with a clear and precise diagnosis to create your personalized path toward lasting relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pain treatments may include physical therapy, medications, epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, and other minimally invasive procedures. The recommended approach depends on your condition and symptoms.
A pain specialist reviews your symptoms, medical history, physical examination findings, and any necessary diagnostic tests. This evaluation helps determine which treatment options may be appropriate for your specific condition.
Non-surgical treatments can help many patients manage discomfort and improve mobility. Their effectiveness depends on the underlying condition, symptom severity, and individual response to treatment.
Minimally invasive pain treatments use targeted techniques to address specific sources of discomfort with limited tissue disruption. Examples include certain spinal injections, radiofrequency ablation, and other specialized procedures.
The duration of relief varies depending on the procedure, underlying condition, and individual response. Some treatments provide temporary relief, while others may offer longer-lasting improvements.
Most injections involve some temporary discomfort. Specialists may use local anesthetics or other comfort measures during the procedure. Your provider can explain what to expect before treatment.
Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled heat to interrupt pain signals from selected nerves. Spinal cord stimulation uses an implanted device to modify pain signals through mild electrical impulses.
Recovery depends on the procedure. Some patients return to routine activities relatively quickly after injections, while implanted devices or surgical procedures may require longer recovery periods.
