Pain Management & Treatments
Interventional pain management focuses on actively treating illnesses, conditions or injuries that cause pain and limit function. One of the unique advantages of interventional pain management is that it involves the full spectrum of care – everything from initial diagnosis to personalized treatment and ongoing pain relief programs – all aimed at helping patients avoid surgery and reducing their reliance on drugs while improving their quality of life.
The pain specialists at Commerce Pain Management provide a comprehensive spectrum of interventional pain management services and treatments, including diagnostic testing, medication management, injection procedures, massage therapy, and chiropractic care.
Questions About Pain
The pain specialists at Commerce Pain Management will do everything in their power to diagnose your source of pain. They are highly trained in methods to determine the underlying cause of pain and treatments to help reduce your pain. They will conduct a comprehensive physical examination, review your medical records and analyze the description of your pain. They will review any x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, myelograms, EMGs or nerve conduction studies you have had and may recommend additional diagnostic studies. With the help of advanced diagnostic procedures, we can typically determine the cause of pain in at least 80% of patients.

Understanding Pain
Pain is a unique experience. Although two people may suffer the same diagnosis, the type and extent of pain each feels may be vastly different. That’s one reason why the cause of pain can be difficult to diagnose and why effective treatment can be difficult to determine. Pain is actually a message sent along the nerves to your brain to let it know that something is hurting the body. The way in which your brain interprets this message as “pain” is unique to you and can be influenced by mental, emotional and behavioral factors.
Pain is usually a symptom resulting from an illness or injury, and it can significantly interfere with a person’s quality of life and ability to function. However, there are times when pain is no longer just a symptom of a condition but actually becomes the condition to be treated.
Types of Pain
- Intermittent pain is episodic. It may occur in waves or patterns.
- Persistent pain lasts 12 or more hours every day for more than three months.
- Breakthrough pain comes on quickly or “breaks through” the medicine you are taking to relieve your persistent pain. It can occur many times during the day.
- Pain flares are short-term increases in one’s usual level of pain. This pain suddenly erupts or emerges with or without an aggravating event or activity.
At Commerce Pain Management, we treat a wide range of conditions that can cause acute or chronic pain. Our highly skilled doctors will assess your condition to determine the cause of your pain and develop a treatment plan that may include medication management, injections, chiropractic or massage therapy.
