F.A.Q.s
Learn about our chronic pain management services, designed to address specific health conditions and improve recovery.
What is chronic pain management?
Chronic pain management is a medical approach focused on treating individuals who suffer from persistent pain extending beyond the typical healing period. Unlike acute pain that dissipates as an injury heals, chronic pain may persist for months or even years. Effective management often requires a combination of pharmacological treatments, physical therapy, psychological support, and lifestyle adjustments, aiming to alleviate pain while improving function and overall quality of life.
How do I know if I need professional pain management?
If pain affects your daily activities, persists despite the usual care and over-the-counter medications, or diminishes your quality of life, it might be time to seek professional help. Chronic pain can also lead to or exacerbate psychological issues such as depression and anxiety, making professional intervention crucial not just for physical relief but also for emotional and psychological well-being.
How long does it typically take to see results from chronic pain management?
The duration before noticeable improvement can vary significantly among individuals, depending on the nature and severity of the pain, as well as the treatment methods applied. Some patients may experience relief immediately after starting certain therapies, while others may notice gradual improvement over weeks or months. At NRG, we continuously monitor your progress and adjust treatments as necessary to optimize your recovery.

Our goal is to support patients in achieving long-term pain relief and improved daily function through education and tailored interventions.
What treatments are available for chronic pain at Northwest Rehab Group?
At Northwest Rehab Group, we offer a range of treatments tailored to meet the specific needs of our patients. Our therapies include pharmacological treatments, physical rehabilitation, and electrical stimulation therapies such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). Each treatment plan is carefully designed after a thorough assessment by our interdisciplinary team, ensuring a personalized and effective approach to managing each patient’s unique pain condition.
Can chronic pain management completely eliminate pain?
While chronic pain management aims to significantly reduce pain and enhance quality of life, it may not completely eliminate pain for everyone. The primary goals are to decrease pain to manageable levels, increase functionality, and improve overall well-being. We focus on helping patients achieve the highest possible level of independence and comfort, with ongoing adjustments to treatment plans based on individual responses.
What should I bring to my first appointment at Northwest Rehab Group?
For your initial consultation at NRG, please bring any relevant medical records, a list of current medications, and information about previous treatments for your pain. It’s also helpful to bring a pain diary if you have been keeping one, which can provide our specialists with detailed insights into your pain patterns and triggers. This information will help us create a more personalized and effective treatment plan for you.
What is the approach of your pain specialist physicians at the clinic?
At our pain management clinic, pain specialist physicians work alongside health care professionals and experts in physical medicine to develop effective treatment strategies. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we focus on comprehensive pain medicine therapies that integrate medication management with physical interventions and lifestyle adjustments. This strategy is tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, ensuring personalized and effective care.
