Pain management is a branch of medicine that focuses on acute and chronic pain and provides methods to relieve it. Synergy Health 360 practices pain management for all types, including:

Musculoskeletal Pain
Typically resulting from sports, work injuries or accidents, Musculoskeletal pain is any condition affecting your musculoskeletal system and includes:
- Bones
- Tendons
- Ligaments
- Nerves
- Muscles
Patients often complain of musculoskeletal pain such as:
- Lower back pain
- Sprains and strains
- Muscle spasms and cramps

Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain is any pain caused by damage to the nerves or an issue with the nervous system. Neuropathic pain is usually acute. Examples include pain from:
- Fibromyalgia
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Interstitial cystitis
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Typical symptoms of neuropathic pain include sensations of:
- Stabbing or sharpness

Postoperative Pain
Postoperative pain is pain that you feel after a surgical procedure. This type of pain is typically acute but can be severe. Your primary care physician at Synergy Health 360 will work with the specialist that performed the surgery to develop the right treatment plan.
Pain Management Treatments
To treat your pain, Synergy Health 360 may employ any number of management tools. Most often, he treats pain with:
IV therapy
Synergy Health 360 uses non-opiate IV infusions to treat various types of chronic pain. You may respond well to this if you suffer from conditions such as fibromyalgia, phantom limb pain, spinal cord injury pain, or central pain related to stroke.
Trigger point therapy
Trigger point therapy relieves pain by targeting trigger points, which are points in your skeletal muscle that cause pain when compressed. During trigger therapy, Synergy Health 360 releases compressed trigger points. This therapy is most successful for musculoskeletal pain, including headaches.
Sciatica pain, which is pain that occurs when you pinch or compress your sciatic nerve, is another frequent musculoskeletal complaint.
Rehabilitation
Another way to manage pain is through rehabilitation or physical therapy. Through guided exercises, you can decrease pain, improve mobility, and generally improve your quality of life. Physical rehabilitation is especially useful after an injury, stroke, or operation.
If you’ve suffered from pain for a long time, or you’ve just begun experiencing pain, you don’t have to accept it as the new normal. Find non-opiate solutions for your pain by reaching out to Synergy Health 360 today.
