Start Living Life to the Fullest Again

Working to completely recover from a chronic illness or severe injury is always a priority for patients and their care team, but treating symptoms is another important aspect that should not be overlooked. The symptoms and side effects of disease can be painful and prevent patients from living comfortable, independent lifestyles. Not all conditions can treated over the course of a few days, which is why pain management is an important aspect of many patients’ care plans.

Pain management is focused on treating the symptoms of diseases and injuries rather than the problem itself. Patients typically need to visit with pain management specialists several times during the course of their treatment to maintain comfort. Meritus Pain Specialists team is specially trained and ready to help you achieve the relief you need.

Our Pain Management Services

There are many possible causes of pain, meaning your pain management treatment can take many forms. We work closely with patients to better understand their needs and create a completely personalized care plan.

Pain management treatments offered at Meritus Health include:

• Steroid Injections – Steroids reduce inflammation and offer relief.
• Nerve Blocks – The injections can be used to diagnose or treat pain.
• Trigger Point Injections – These are used to relieve pain in the muscles.
• Intrathecal Pump Implant – The implanted pump delivers medications directly to the spinal fluid.
• Spinal Cord Stimulator – Implanted electrodes send electrical pulses to the spinal cord to treat chronic pain.
• Complementary Therapies – We encourage patients to explore pain management options such as physical therapy and TENS units.

We keep up with our patients’ experiences to measure how well treatment is working. Programs are modified as needed to help every patient achieve the best results possible.
