Firstly, they identify the cause of the pain to make an accurate diagnosis.

For example, lower back pain can result from various causes ranging from incorrect posture to cancer.

Therefore, placing the correct diagnosis is the most crucial factor determining the effectiveness of the treatment. The most effective treatment is decided based on the accurate diagnosis.

On the other hand, pain treatment doctors apply various interventional treatment methods for pains that do not respond to standard treatments (such as medication and physical therapy). These interventions not only alleviate or reduce pain but also help decrease the amount of pain-relieving medication used and/or prevent unnecessary surgeries.

Pain treatment physicians have advanced training in all pain-relieving medications and have the authority to prescribe them. Hence, they can safely relieve your pain by using all types of pain relievers, from the mildest to the strongest, in ideal doses and combinations.

Moreover, they are the experts in understanding the limits of the effects of pain treatment methods. In cases where these treatments might be ineffective, they can guide you to the most suitable physician or treatment option, ensuring coordination among different specialists and preventing you from unnecessarily seeking treatment from door to door.
