(Newswire.net — July 2, 2013) Las Vegas, NV — Nevada Comprehensive Pain Center is pleased to remind patients that there are appropriate uses for utilization of epidural injections. Contrary to some of the popular myths circulating in the medical and general community, epidural injections and pain management have a place in therapy for acute and chronic painful conditions. As with most procedures and products, there are both risks and benefits.
According to the spokesperson at the center for epidural injections and pain management techniques, “All of our treating physicians are board certified and fellowship trained in interventional spine and pain management. They have received training from only the best and most highly regarded training programs in America such as The Stanford University, The University of Chicago Hospitals, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. With such training, our board-certified and fellowship-trained pain management physicians can guarantee that our patients receive the most compassionate, highest quality, and most cutting edge therapy. We often succeed where others have failed and we can return our patients back to more functional, active, and productive lives.”
He continues, “Chronic pain can take a major toll in many aspects of our patient’s lives. These include but are not limited to economic, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. We at Nevada Comprehensive Pain Center understand this and believe in treating the whole person and not just the symptoms. We do this by utilizing a multi-disciplinary approach to the development and implementation of highly specialized and individually tailored therapeutic regimens for each of our patients.”
Epidural injections are the name of the shots given in the epidural space of the spine, which is near the dural membrane. This injection is done to provide relief from inflammation or pain, which might be chronic or temporary. Steroids, anesthetics and anti-inflammatory medications are often included in these injections. They are designed to offer reduction of swelling and pain that might be in damaged nerves or the spinal nerve roots. Patients may be given permanent relief from the pain or relief that is temporary. Generally speaking, pain comes back after some time and patients must then get alternative therapy or additional injections.
