• Headaches
• Arthritis
  Pain joints are extremely common; one nationwide study found that about one in every three adults reported suffering from joint pain withing the last 30 days. Over the course of a lifetime, it is safe to say that everyone will at one point experience pain in a major or minor joint of the body. There are tens, if not hundreds, of different conditions that can lead to joint pain. These include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, gout, strain and sprains, and other traumatic injuries. This ebook will discuss what you need to know about joint pain.

• Pelvic Pain
  Plexus Block – the hypogastric plexus is a collection of nerves located near the lower part of the abdomen in the upper front of the pelvis. The hypogastric plexus block can be used to treat chronic pelvic pain that is unresponsive to oral medications allowing patients to experience more relief while taking less pain medication.

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  Injuries resulting from accidents are generally caused by violent gravitational forces, blunt force trauma or falls. The nature of your accident will largely determine the type and extent of your injuries because things like automobile accidents and falls will lead to more traumatic injuries than general wear-and-tear caused by repetitive use injuries, as is common with office workers (carpal tunnel syndrome) and manual laborers (joint pain and arthritis). Pain that is caused by damage to muscles, bones or organs, as is the case with pain caused by acute injury, is known as nociceptive pain; it can go away on its own as the tissues heal, but medical intervention is often required to achieve full resolution of painful symptoms. If you do not treat nociceptive pain, there is a chance it can turn into chronic pain, as the underlying cause goes untreated and the pain therefore never goes away.

Surgeons

• Sciatica
  The spine is one of the most complex musculoskeletal systems in the body. Its most critical responsibility is housing and protecting the spinal cord, which is responsible for relaying signals of the nervous system from the rest of the body to the brain. However, the spine is also responsible for providing structural support and balance to the body and enabling flexible movement. Back pain affects up to 80% of Americans at one point or another in their lifetime and it can be caused by muscle strains, bone and disc issues, arthritis, nerve damage or fractures. Some common examples of spine conditions are spinal stenosis, cervical dystonia, herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.
• Whiplash
  Accidents can cause a wide variety of injuries because no part of your body is immune to acute injury. You could roll your ankle playing in the backyard with friends and family, throw out your back lifting something heavy around the house, or hurt your back in a car accident. Some of the most common injuries to result from accidents are fractures; dislocations; concussions; soft-tissue injuries like muscle, ligament or tendon strains and sprains; nerve damage or impingement; and whiplash.

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  Working with a physical therapist can help develop strength and coordination, reduce or eliminate pain, and improve your ability to function and carry out activities of daily living (ADLs). A physical therapy regimen will include stretching, strengthening and cardiovascular exercises aimed at strengthening the muscles, tendons and joints around and injury and correcting movement patterns that may have been adulterated by pain. The beauty of physical therapy is that these programs are often designed with longevity in mind, so you can continue to build on the foundation built in rehabilitation in your home or gym by simply sticking with your exercises after you’ve been discharged.
