Our Patient Suzanne OBrien detailed how our Pain Management program was able to help her:
When I first came to WOLMED, I was in a lot of pain. Consequently, I wasn’t one of the nicer patients and couldn’t do much for myself. After the first 80 hours, I was able to walk more. Also, I managed to put my socks and shoes on myself – with some difficulty, but this was a great accomplishment for me. The equipment and staff at WOLMED is unbelievable and has definitely made me stronger. I was only able to make microwave food before coming here. Now I’ve learned to make fresh meat and veg with rests in between. It takes longer, but it’s worth it. The second eighty hours just increased my strength, and the group therapy taught me so much - positive attitude – think more before acting and so much more. One complaint – those 80 hours went far too fast!

If you are reading this article, you’re probably experiencing pain at some level, but don’t know if pain management is an option for you. The best way to figure out this conundrum is to first classify the different types of pain. With classification comes clarification, which in turn helps you understand that pain management can help you, and that you don’t have to suffer in pain alone. Let’s start of by defining what pain is. (more…)

Before I answer any questions, you should ask yourself a couple. Have you ever had pain that lasted so long that it never seemed to end? Are you unable to spend quality time with friends and family because of pain? Do your pain pills make it harder and harder to do the things you love? Do you feel depressed and anxious because of pain? Does it feel like you’ve tried everything but you’re still in pain? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you could benefit from Pain Management. Just because it can help doesn’t mean you want to rush out and get it without knowing what it is first. That’s where I step in and answer the question, “what is Pain Management and do I need it?”
Wikipedia says Pain Management (also called pain medicine by definition), “is a branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with pain.”
Doctors specializing in pain management know the complex nature of pain, and will approach the problem from several different directions. Treatment of long term pain may include pharmacologic measures, interventional procedures (epidural steroid injections), physical therapy, application of ice or heat, and psychological measures. Whatever method is used to treat your pain you can be assured that it’s always with your best interest and comfort in mind.
Now that you understand the benefits of Pain Management a little better, if you or a loved one lives in the DFW area and has answered yes to any of the questions above, contact WOLMED Back & Neck Pain Center and see how Pain Management can help you change your life.

We’ve all heard it before, often accompanied by a tone of irritation: “what a pain in the neck.” Analogies and phrases like this are always used to describe something very unpleasant, because neck pain is just that – unpleasant. The degree of discomfort may always vary based on the type of injury from simply sleeping in an awkward position to sprains or even because of chronic neck pain from the result of an accident.

Here’s the scenario, it’s been a long day at work and your back is killing you, what do you do? You first go for the medicine cabinet knowing your husband or wife keeps their leftover pain medication they had from an accident they had last year in there.

Last you go to the fridge and get a beer or glass of wine to take all four pills hoping to relax and alleviate the pain quickly. Does this sound familiar to you?
