Reasons to ask about a visit
When to call
pain management.
A consultation may be worth considering when pain keeps returning, limits your daily life, or is not improving enough with the care you have tried.
Everyday things are harder
Pain is interrupting sleep, walking, work, household tasks or time with family.
You want another option
Rest, medication or other care has not helped enough, and you want to understand what else may be appropriate.
Back pain with new leg weakness or new loss of bladder or bowel control needs immediate medical assessment. Do not wait for a routine appointment.
How pain management may help
Understand your pain.
Explore ways to treat it.
A pain specialist reviews your symptoms, medical history and prior care to help identify what may be contributing to your pain. The goal is to reduce pain and improve everyday function.
Depending on your evaluation, options through Southeast Pain & Spine Care may include:
Movement & medication
A plan for ongoing care
Rehabilitation recommendations and medication management may be part of a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Targeted procedures
Injections for selected conditions
The practice offers joint and spine injections and nerve blocks. Your clinician can explain whether a targeted procedure may be appropriate.
Other nerve treatments
Options that target pain signals
For certain conditions, procedures such as radiofrequency ablation may be considered to reduce pain signals from specific nerves.
These are examples, not a treatment recommendation. Dr. Clover will discuss which options, if any, fit your needs and where they would be provided.
