The Importance of Seeking Pain Relief from Qualified and Experienced Physicians

When you’re in pain, there’s not much you can focus on in life as your discomfort becomes the center of your existence.  For this reason, it is easy to understand why pain relief is a top priority for the nearly 25% of the adult population in the United States who struggle with chronic pain.

Just as you wouldn’t trust your cat or dog’s medical care to the groomer, but to a veterinarian  who specializes in household pets, nor should you trust your pain management care to anyone who isn’t medically trained in this important branch of medicine.

As Dr. Naveen Reddy and Dr. Maziar Massrour can attest after years of training and experience, pain is complex and no two patients share the same exact experience. At Apex Pain Specialists, it is important to us that patients receive top-notch, personalized care from medical providers who have devoted their careers to pain management.

Training matters

At our practice, Dr. Reddy and Dr. Massrour are board-certified in two very important areas: pain management and anesthesiology. This means they not only devoted a good deal of their medical school education and training to manage pain, but they then took their training to the next level with board certifications.

The American Board of Medical Specialties certifies doctors in 38 specialities and 89 subspecialities. What this means is that these doctors followed rigorous standards for training and assessment and met a higher standard in their respective fields. So, on top of all of their medical training, board-certified doctors like ours at Apex went the extra mile in their training, which ultimately benefits their patients.

Pain is complex and unique

To call pain complex is an understatement, and chronic pain can be even more so. For many people who struggle with chronic pain, the pain signaling patterns can become automatic, so the pain becomes its own disease rather than a direct result of an injury or defect. This is why many people experience persistent pain even after the underlying problem has healed.

Additionally, pain can also be influenced by perception in your brain, and this perception can be altered by mental health issues. Between 35% and 45% of people with chronic pain also experience depression, and depression can heighten pain perception, creating a vicious cycle of pain and mood dysregulation.

Doctors who are trained in pain management understand these complex issues and it’s why we treat every patient individually.

Pain management doctors know what works

Day in and day out, year after year, Dr. Massrour and Dr. Reddy help patients who are in pain. And, as we’ve already discussed, pain can come in many different forms.

At Apex Pain Specialists, our collective experience over the years translates into an understanding of what’s effective in treating certain types of pain, so we don’t waste your time with treatments that are not proven to be effective.  We understand that time is one thing you don’t want to waste when you are in pain.

The bottom line is that pain relief is too important to be left in unqualified and inexperienced hands. If your world has been overwhelmed by pain, our team has the skill, the experience, and the unique insight to help you break the cycle of pain.
