Main types of pain we treat.
Types of pain we also have a treatment for
Neuropathic pain (nerve pain)
This type of pain appears because of an injury or abnormal functioning of the nervous system that begins to interpret normal sensory stimuli as if they were very painful sensations, that is, this pain practically appears without the need for a real threat, it has no use. For this reason it is important to resort to a pain treatment that can help us deal with this condition.
Complex regional pain syndrome
This is a chronic pain disorder that usually affects only one limb and begins after an injury. One of the main symptoms is prolonged and severe pain that can become constant, described as a burning or tingling sensation. There is also increased sensitivity in the affected area, which is known as allodynia, and simple normal skin contact can be very painful. In these cases, treatment is needed to help us deal with the pain.
Persistent postsurgical pain
Acute pain is normal after surgery, because tissue is regularly injured in surgical procedures. Usually the body deals with this type of pain and with time it disappears. However, sometimes this does not happen and the pain persists, in these cases it is necessary for us to intervene with a treatment that can help reduce this pain.
Chronic non-malignant pain
Non-malignant chronic pain may be due to causes that are not in any way threatening to the patient’s life, even though this may cause significant physical and psychological deterioration. It is the pain of osteoarthritis, phantom limb or rheumatoid arthritis. For this condition there is also an ideal treatment, which aims to help considerably reduce this type of pain.
