Our Pain Management Services

Comprehensive Pain Assessment

Effective pain management begins with a thorough assessment. Dr. Chung conducts comprehensive evaluations to understand the root cause of your pain. This may include physical examinations, medical history reviews, and diagnostic tests. By pinpointing the exact source of your discomfort, we can create a targeted treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Every patient is different, and so is their pain. Dr. Chung develops personalized treatment plans that may include a combination of medications, physical therapy, and minimally invasive procedures. Our goal is to provide relief while minimizing side effects and improving your overall quality of life.

Medication Management

Medications can play a crucial role in managing pain. Dr. Chung carefully selects and prescribes medications that are most effective for your specific condition. He closely monitors your progress and adjusts the treatment as needed to ensure optimal results.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is often an integral part of pain management. Our team of skilled therapists works alongside Dr. Chung to design exercise and rehabilitation programs tailored to your needs. These programs aim to strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and reduce pain.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

For patients who require more advanced interventions, Dr. Chung offers a range of minimally invasive procedures. These techniques are designed to provide significant pain relief with minimal recovery time. Some of the procedures we offer include:

Epidural Steroid Injections

Epidural steroid injections are used to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in the spine. This procedure can be particularly effective for conditions such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis.

Nerve Blocks

Nerve blocks involve injecting medication directly into or around a nerve to block pain signals. This can provide relief for conditions like chronic migraines, arthritis, and neuropathic pain.
