Treatments Offered for Pain Management:
Medication
Pain medicines can help patients manage and relieve chronic pain. Some patients find better relief of stiffness and swelling from corticosteroid injections. Prescription corticosteroids provide relief for inflamed areas of the body.
Exercise
Many joint problems do not require surgery. Often, they can be treated with a combination of exercise, rest and anti-inflammatory medications. Exercise can help improve mobility, relieve stiffness and decrease swelling.
Behavioural Counseling
Our treatment approaches range from Psychodynamic processing to skill-based strategies found with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
