FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Pain Specialists
What exactly is a pain specialist?
A pain specialist is a doctor trained specifically to diagnose and manage complex pain conditions. They look beyond symptoms to identify the underlying causes of pain and tailor treatment plans that may include medications, interventional procedures, physiotherapy and lifestyle support to improve quality of life.
When should I consider seeing a pain specialist?
You may benefit from seeing a pain specialist if you are experiencing chronic pain that lasts for over 3 months, affects your daily activities or sleep or hasn’t improved with standard treatments from your GP or other doctors.
How can a pain specialist help me?
A pain specialist helps you understand why your pain is happening and how it affects your daily life. By looking at the whole picture, and not just the direct symptoms, pain specialists can help you identify the root cause and guide you toward relief, better function and an improved quality of life— especially when pain has become persistent or difficult to manage.
