Living with chronic pain is exhausting. It affects your work, your family, your mobility, and your quality of life. At Ogden Clinic, our Pain Management specialists use both Medical Pain Management and Interventional Pain Management approaches to help patients reduce pain, restore function, and return to the activities they love.
Interventional Pain Management
Interventional Pain Management is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating chronic pain conditions in a minimally invasive way. This approach is often used when pain is severe, persistent, and does not respond to traditional treatment options like medications or physical therapy.
Treatments often involve injections, nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulation, which directly target pain sources without the need for extensive surgery. By reducing pain at its source, patients may experience significant improvements in mobility, function, and overall well-being. This specialty focuses not only on pain relief but also on helping patients manage their condition and return to normal activities.
Medical Pain Management focuses on the careful use of medications and supportive therapies to manage chronic pain conditions. Our specialty team in Farmington may prescribe and monitor treatments such as:
Pain-relieving medications
Nerve pain and anti-inflammatory medications
Muscle relaxants
Long-term medication management for chronic conditions
This approach is designed for patients who need ongoing relief while also working toward long-term solutions. With careful monitoring, we ensure medications are used safely, effectively, and as part of a broader plan to improve function and quality of life.
Who Is Medical Pain Management For?
Common Conditions:
Chronic neck and back pain
Joint and muscle pain
Headaches and migraines
Fibromyalgia and Neuropathy
Approach to Pain Management
Anyone considering visiting a specialist should know that these treatments are not just about masking pain, but about addressing the underlying cause. While many procedures offer immediate relief, others may take time to show results, and not all treatments are suitable for every condition.
Working closely with an experienced pain management physician is crucial for setting realistic expectations and determining the best course of action.
If you are struggling with chronic pain, interventional pain management may offer an effective, long-term solution to improve your quality of life.
Tailored Care for Your Severity & Symptoms
A personalized care plan is developed for each patient, since this team combines the expertise of our Medical Pain Management Team, Neurosurgery and that of our Utah Spine Physiatry providers (non-surgical pain management).
The first step typically involves a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical history, symptoms, and diagnostic imaging. Some patients may require a combination of therapies (medications alongside interventional procedures) to achieve optimal results. The goal is always to reduce reliance on pain medications, especially opioids, and provide lasting relief with as little disruption to daily life as possible.
