Introduction

Pain, particularly acute pain, can rear its ugly head when you least expect it, taking you from enjoying life’s activities to wincing in a matter of seconds. From an injury, surgery, or a disease process, sudden, severe pain can be excruciating and nearly impossible to tolerate. At Sapiens Pain Hospital, we recognize the impact and immediate nature of acute pain and are dedicated to delivering timely, superior care to restore patients to full health and function. In this blog, we take a look at how the hospital manages acute pain, and the specialist care and treatments available to ensure you get rapid, long term pain relief.

What Acute Pain Means 

Pain is an acute reflex, warning, or message that something is wrong in your body. Acute pain is different from chronic pain, which is pain that continues over time, usually at least 3 to 6 months, and is sometimes experienced in the absence of any past injury, or is unrelated to any identifiable cause such as cancer or arthritis. Though this pain is meant to protect, it is an intensity of pain that can become crippling for a person to get through the day.

*Sapiens Pain Hospital * we aim to get this pain away as soon as we can. Our goal is to manage your pain, help reduce risks, speed recovery, and ultimately improve your quality of life.

Consultation by an Expert for the Correct Diagnosis

An assessment is one of the first steps in dealing with acute pain. At the Sapiens Pain Hospital, our proficient doctors conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify the right reason behind the pain. This may involve a physical exam, review of patient history and any necessary diagnostic tests, including imaging or laboratory tests. Accurate diagnosis is essential to provide the best possible treatment and to prevent unnecessary disease management.

Individualized Acute Pain Management Regimens

After the cause of the sharp pain can be determined, our physicians design a custom treatment plan based on the individual. Sapiens Pain Hospital understands that all our patients experience pain differently, therefore we think it should be treated based on the individual. For example, a patient experiencing post-operative pain may have different needs than an acute injury.

Our pain management plans for acute pain may involve:

• Medications: We will start with medications to help manage pain. Painkillers, such as NSAIDs, opioids, or other pain management methods, may be recommended according to the pain severity. And our staff makes certain medication is delivered in a level that won’t cause side effects, yet will bring a measure of pain relief.
• Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is an important aspect of treating patients with musculoskeletal injuries or for post-surgery recovery. Under the direction of our trained therapists, patients perform exercises and techniques to better their mobility, strengthen the muscles, and avoid more injury.
• Minimally Invasive Procedure: When advisable, Sapiens Pain Hospital provides state-of-the-art minimally invasive procedures, like nerve blocks or injections. The goal of these treatments is to treat the cause of pain directly and ultimately offer rapid pain relief with little to no recovery time.
• Interventional Pain Management: In some cases, our experts may counsel a more advanced interventional approach, such as an epidural steroid injection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA), to cut off pain signals and encourage lasting healing.
• Emotional Assistance: Managing pain is more than just physical. We also provide emotional support to our patients, who may be feeling the impact of the pain. Counseling or cognitive therapy can be part of the treatment regimen to lower pain-induced anxiety, stress, and emotional discomfort.

Continuous Monitoring and Adjustments

Acute pain is dynamic and the response to treatment can differ from patient to patient. Sapiens Pain Hospital believes in the importance of the followup and check up on the patient’s condition. We have a team of healthcare professionals that are closely monitoring pain, recovery and possible side effects of treatment. If needed we can modify the treatment plan so patients receive the effective form of pain relief.

At Sapiens Pain Hospital, we don’t just manage pain in the short-term — we are committed to providing patients with comprehensive management and long-term pain relief.
