The care that runs alongside everything else.

Not every visit is a procedure. This is the ongoing side of pain care — the treatment plan, the medications, and the coordination with your other doctors. Tap any service to read what it involves.

  • Medication Management also called prescriptions and refills Pain management doctors at NASPAC often utilize a range of medications tailored to treat various pain conditions effectively. Ongoing care

    Pain management doctors at NASPAC often utilize a range of medications tailored to treat various pain conditions effectively. These include prescription strength anti-inflammatories such as NSAIDs and oral corticosteroids; nerve stabilizing medications like gabapentin and duloxetine, which are particularly effective in managing neuropathic pain; and muscle relaxants, prescribed to relieve muscle spasms and associated pain. Opioid medications are used judiciously for short-term relief of acute, severe pain under strict supervision to manage the risk of dependency.

What to expect

An appointment, not a prescription counter.

Bring

Records, medications, imaging

Bring all relevant medical records, a list of medications, and any previous diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or MRIs. A pain diary noting severity, type and triggers is extremely helpful if you have kept one.

The visit

A thorough interview first

Your doctor will discuss your medical history, the nature of your pain, how it began, and how it affects your daily life. You will be asked to describe the pain in detail — intensity, frequency, and what makes it better or worse.

The plan

Built around your case

After assessing all the information and diagnostic results, your physician develops a personalised treatment plan. It may include medications, therapy recommendations, and possibly interventional procedures, and you will be talked through the reasoning.

Prescriptions

Decided at a visit, not before one

Medication is prescribed as part of a treatment plan by a physician who has evaluated you. Opioid medications in particular are used judiciously, for short-term relief of acute severe pain and under strict supervision, to manage the risk of dependency.

Questions we get asked most

Can I get a prescription without being seen?

No. Medication is prescribed as part of a treatment plan by a physician who has evaluated you, so a first visit comes before any prescribing decision. This is true of all pain medication and applies most strictly to opioids, which are used judiciously for short-term relief of acute, severe pain and under close supervision.

Do you offer telehealth appointments?

Please call the office to ask. Availability depends on the appointment type and on your insurance, so the office can tell you what applies to your situation better than a web page can.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Relevant medical records, a list of everything you currently take, and any previous imaging such as X-rays or MRIs. If you have been keeping a pain diary, bring that too — a record of severity, triggers and what helps is one of the most useful things you can arrive with.

Do I have to have a procedure?

No. Many patients are treated with medication, therapy and coordinated care without any interventional procedure at all. The plan follows the diagnosis, and conservative options come first unless there is a clear reason otherwise.

Will you work with my other doctors?

Yes. Pain management doctors work closely with physical therapists, occupational therapists, neurologists and psychologists so that all aspects of your health are addressed rather than just the pain in isolation.

Will my insurance cover this?

Coverage depends on your plan. You can check whether we accept your insurance before booking, and the office will verify the specifics for your visit.

Next step

Not sure a procedure is what you need?

Most of what we do is the ongoing work of managing pain well. Request a consult and a physician will start by working out what is actually causing yours.
