Glen Burnie Pain Management clinic brings relief! We have a great team of physicians that specialize in pain management services in Glen Burnie, MD available at Lifestream Health Center. Healthcare providers who specialize in pain management recognize the complex nature of pain and a doctor that specializes in pain management approaches the problem from all directions. There are many different types and causes of pain. Pain is an umbrella term to describe any uncomfortable or unpleasant sensation in the body. Our chronic and acute pain management doctor, who is also an addictionologist connects with the patient and works at getting to the root cause of the discomfort in the body. We have all experienced different levels of chronic and/or acute pain however, one person’s experience of the same unpleasant sensation can be significantly different from another’s.

No two individuals are the same and neither are doctors. For this reason, we are happy to offer a second opinion if you are not resonating with the diagnosis and pain management regimen that you have already received. Despite it being one of the most common symptoms people seek help for, because of the variety of causes, it is also one of the most misunderstood and ineffectively treated symptoms. Some pain can become physically limiting, affecting lifestyles. Our dream team of pain management specialists utilizes everything from epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency neurolysis, spinal cord stimulators, trigger point injections, and much more. While some types of pain can be chronic, such as body aches, mood disorders, gastrointestinal complications and others acute, such as from surgery, muscle strains, childbirth; the field of pain management treats all of it. This allows for the application of science and the latest advances in medicine to relieve your pain. Once a pain medication is started, it should be monitored for effectiveness and side effects and the dosage or choice of treatment modified if the pain changes or the choice is deemed unsuitable or ineffective.

The main goal of pain management is to minimize it. This is because quite often it is not possible to completely eliminate it. There is no one size fits all approach. That’s why we work to find the root of the problem, to discover where the pain is being initiated and why. Our other goals are to improve function and increase the quality of life. We also use other non-medication therapies for chronic pain. Some of these therapies include TENS units, physical therapy, and much more. We also offer ultrasound guided injections, fluoroscopically guided injections, and more. We do our procedures on site and offer sedation as needed. We specialize in platelet rich plasma and complex regional pain syndrome. We seek to incorporate evidence-based and outcome-oriented research in all of our treatment decisions, bringing forth the latest in technology, techniques, treatments, and procedures to best help our patients to recover. We recognize the value of personalized treatment plans, as all patients are not the same.

We proudly accept a variety of insurance providers, including Medicaid and Medicare. No one should have to live a life full of discomfort. We understand that it is challenging to get in to see a doctor, and that’s why we are proud to offer support through Telehealth when available. At Lifestream Health Center, we have numerous procedures and treatments available to our pain specialists that can help with any acute or chronic pain management issue. Don’t hesitate, reach out to our Glen Burnie Pain Management clinic to start living life again!
