Get help managing your pain in Corinth with Midsouth Spine & Pain Associates
At Midsouth Spine & Pain Associates (MSSP), we understand that pain can rule your life. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain from an auto accident or work-related injury, ongoing pain is stressful and can affect your mental health state as well, not to mention reduce your quality of life as you’re no longer able to participate in once-loved activities. In some instances, chronic pain sufferers may not be able to fulfill day-to-day tasks like preparing their own meals, getting dressed, conducting personal hygiene, or running errands. Our double board-certified pain doctor and specialists at MSSP have the necessary skills and experience to diagnose your painful condition, and devise a comprehensive, minimally invasive treatment plan to help manage your pain and improve your overall wellbeing, because pain should not rule your life.
Pain Management in Corinth
At MSSP, we use a multidisciplinary team approach to identifying the cause of your pain. Our goal is to provide early intervention and treatment using state-of-the-art technology and techniques available in pain relief that are minimally or non-invasive and do not require major surgical. With our pain management techniques, we can help reduce the likelihood of prolonged disability, and help you return to your normal routine and maximum level of function within your own physical limitation to improve your quality of life.
Our pain relief specialists near Jackson, TN and Tupelo, MS aim to:
- Improve function and quality of life in adults over age 18 battling chronic pain.
- Utilize bio-psychosocial and biomedical models for pain assessment and reassessment.
- Improve the appropriate use of Level 1 and Level 2 treatment options for adults with chronic pain.
- Improve the effective use of non-opioid medications in adults with chronic pain.
- Improve the effective use of opioid medications in adults with chronic pain.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 pain management techniques?
Our pain doctors in Corinth get asked this question often. The biggest difference between Level 1 and Level 2 pain management techniques is that Level 1 involves non-opioid treatments, such as injections, ablation therapy, and other minimally invasive treatments. Comparatively, Level 2 pain management may involve the use of prescription opioid medications in combination with Level 1 techniques. However, at MSSP, we strive to obtain significant improvement in your level of pain by first using Level 1 pain management techniques. Additionally, patients that may require the use of opioid pain-relieving medication may also receive Level 1 therapies to help manage their pain and reduce dependency and dosage of opioids.
Why not just rely on pain medication for my pain?
It makes sense to take a pill for your pain and ignore the root problem. But, unfortunately, the problem (the source of your pain) still exists and taking pain pills only masks the underlying issue. At MSSP, while we understand some patients may require pain medication to provide ultimate relief from their pain, there are many other treatments available that address the problem at its source. Each case of pain management is different, but our double board-certified pain doctors aim to treat the source of the problem instead of simply masking your pain, which tricks your brain into thinking that the problem is solved when it’s not. Instead, we handle the problem at the source.
