When you are suffering from acute or chronic pain, you want the most effective pain management techniques available. The doctors at Paragon Surgical Center in Saint Thomas, VI, provide advanced pain management services to help you live your life with less pain.

How Advanced Pain Management Techniques Can Help You

Acute or chronic pain can lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Pain can also cause harmful physical changes including raising your blood pressure and putting more stress on your heart. Effective pain management is crucial to your quality of life. At Paragon Surgical Center in Saint Thomas, your pain management specialist may recommend advanced pain management strategies like these:

Patient-controlled analgesia, which uses a computerized pump you can activate by pressing a button. The pump delivers pain-relieving medication through an IV in your arm.

Nerve blocks, which prevent transmission of pain impulses from nerves to your brain.

Trigger point injections, which are injections of medication into knots within muscles to relieve tension.

Surgical implants, which are pumps implanted in the skin, delivering pain-relieving medications as needed.

Spinal cord stimulation, which delivers electrical signals to block pain impulses from the spine to the brain.

Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation, also known as a TENS unit, which is a device worn on the body. The TENS unit delivers low voltage electric current to the nerves in the painful area. The electrical impulses mask pain impulses.
