Pain Management FAQ

People exploring pain management usually come to us with concerns. Below are straightforward responses to the questions we hear most often.

What should I expect to pay for pain management?

Pain management pricing depends significantly based on what's included in your care plan and what your insurer covers. Many pain management procedures — such as joint injections, trigger point therapy, and spinal procedures — are covered at least in part by most major insurance plans. We recommend scheduling a consultation to understand what's covered before you begin.

How long does pain management treatment take to work?

The answer varies considerably by treatment type and individual patient. Certain individuals feel a difference within days of their initial treatment visit. For some patients, when the underlying issue is more involved, improvement builds gradually over several weeks or months of treatment. Your provider will be transparent about what to expect at the start of your plan.

How is a nerve block different from an epidural injection?

These are both injectable pain treatments, but they serve distinct purposes. ESI places anti-inflammatory medicine into the outer region of the spinal canal to reduce widespread nerve inflammation. By contrast, a nerve block is aimed at a single nerve or group of nerves — injecting anesthetic, copyright, or a combination — to interrupt pain signals from a particular area. Our team will recommend the most appropriate option based on where and how your pain presents.

Can I still pursue pain management after surgery?

Definitely — in fact, people who've had surgery are some of the most frequently seen pain management candidates we work with. Conditions like failed back surgery syndrome are well-recognized reasons for treatments like spinal cord stimulation and nerve blocks. When an operation left some pain behind, or if your condition has evolved since your procedure, our team has tools that may help.

Will pain management fix my pain permanently?

The answer depends on the specific condition being treated. Options like nerve ablation and spinal cord stimulation may provide relief for 12 to 24 months or longer. Others, like trigger point injections, may provide shorter-term relief but can be repeated safely. For patients with truly chronic conditions, the goal shifts from cure to management — and that remains a meaningful clinical success.
