How is Pain Treated?

​

Texas Intergrative Pain Institute is proud to be able to provide comprehensive pain management to patients. We adopt the most recent treatments backed by science to be truly successful in helping people suffering from severe and chronic pain. Comprehensive pain management is an approach that utilizes various treatment methods to manage chronic pain and centers around finding the best treatment that actually works for our patients. 

Treatment varies from patient to patient. Your treatment plan will depend on several factors, including the severity of the injury and what combination of the following is involved:

Skin

Muscle

Bone

Ligaments

Tendons

Joints

Cartilage

Nerves

 

These are the treatments we offer:

Injection Therapies: This type of treatment involves injecting medication, such as steroid medication, directly to the site of pain using a needle.

 

BOTOX Injections: BOTOX is a popular cosmetic treatment. It is also FDA-approved for treating muscle spasms and migraines. BOTOX works by blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscle, causing the muscle to relax.

Medication Management: Medication can be an essential part of a treatment plan, and our doctors will monitor your dosage and usage of any pain management medication.

 

Alternative Therapies: These traditional therapies move away from the use of prescription medication and can include yoga and acupuncture.

Our pain management clinic in Houston also offers Ketamine therapy which has been increasingly recognized as a practical option for pain and depression patients who haven’t responded to traditional treatment.

 

What to Expect Visiting A Pain Clinic

Many people can be nervous when going to the doctor’s office, as they may not know what to expect or are afraid they will not be able to be helped. There is also a widely held belief that doctors turn to medication, like opioids, too often and do not adequately treat the underlying causes of pain. Texas Intergrative Pain Institute is different because our staff truly listens to patients and wants to provide the highest level of healthcare that also alleviates the root cause of their chronic pain. When you come to our pain management clinics in Houston, our staff will do everything they can to make you feel at ease and understand your goals.
