Pain Management Questions and Answers

Those starting to research pain management usually come to us with concerns. Here are honest, clear answers to what patients ask us regularly.

What should I expect to pay for pain management?

The cost of pain management depends significantly based on your diagnosis, the procedures recommended, and your health plan. Many pain management procedures — like PRP, diagnostic nerve blocks, and copyright injections — are recognized by most insurers as medically necessary. Our front office can help you review your coverage to understand what's covered before you begin.

How long does pain management treatment take to work?

This depends considerably by treatment type and individual patient. Some patients notice relief shortly after their initial treatment visit. Others, when the underlying issue is more involved, improvement builds gradually over several weeks or months of treatment. We set realistic expectations upfront at the start of your plan.

How is a nerve block different from an epidural injection?

These are both injectable pain treatments, but they work differently and treat different conditions. The epidural approach deposits copyright directly into the outer region of the spinal canal to reduce widespread nerve inflammation. Nerve blocks, on the other hand, is directed at a more precise nerve target — delivering medication directly to the nerve pathway — to interrupt pain signals from a particular area. Your pain management provider will recommend the most appropriate option based on where and how your pain presents.

Am I a good candidate for pain management if I've already had surgery?

Absolutely — in fact, people who've had surgery are some of the most frequently seen pain management candidates we work with. Diagnoses such as failed back surgery syndrome or post-laminectomy syndrome are well-recognized reasons for advanced pain management interventions. When an operation left some pain behind, or if new symptoms developed afterward, pain management can offer real options.

Will pain management fix my pain permanently?

Duration varies based on what's causing your pain. Options like nerve ablation and spinal cord stimulation may provide relief for 12 to 24 months or longer. Treatments such as trigger point or joint injections may require periodic repeating but may be administered again over time. When pain is tied to a progressive diagnosis, our goal becomes keeping symptoms controlled long-term — which many patients find enormously valuable.
