What is pain management?

Pain management helps to control and relieve long-term (chronic) pain. Any condition that causes pain lasting more than three months is considered chronic, including diseases like cancer.

Many people find pain management helps them live with incurable musculoskeletal conditions and severe or poorly healed injuries. LeHeal Biogenix specializes in providing advanced pain management to patients with these conditions.

What does pain management involve?

When you injure yourself, your body immediately begins to heal itself. During this process, your body removes the damaged tissue and replaces it with new, healthy cells. Part of this involves creating inflammation, which can be painful.

Anti-inflammatory medication, including steroid injections, treat the pain inflammation causes but can slow the healing process. LeHeal Biogenix uses regenerative injection therapy (RIT) instead.

RIT reproduces the body’s normal tissue-healing process by injecting a substance that stimulates natural healing. It can help with chronic pain caused by unhealed injuries in your:

• Cartilage
• Joints
• Ligaments
• Muscles
• Tendons

Treatments involve injecting a natural solution (sometimes including your own blood plasma) into the muscle tissue in the affected area. Injection therapy helps repair tissues like tendons and ligaments by encouraging healing and healthy new tissue formation.

Benefits of RIT include increased movement and function, improved muscle strength, and reduced pain. RIT offers an effective alternative to prescription medication and surgery.

What conditions can pain management help with?

LeHeal Biogenix’s advanced pain management programs can help with many causes of pain throughout your body. These include arthritis, bursitis (inflammation in the cushioning sacs of fluid in your joints), and tendinitis (inflammation caused by tendon overuse). Some conditions that can benefit from pain management are:

• Joint instability
• Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
• Medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
• Ulnar (elbow) nerve entrapment
• Meniscus tears
• Knee ligament (ACL, MCL, PCL, or LCL) sprains or tears
• Patellofemoral syndrome (chondromalacia)
• Baker’s cysts
• Rotator cuff tears
• Thoracic outlet syndrome
• Labral tears or degeneration (hips and shoulders)
• Acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Trigger finger
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome
• Plantar fasciitis
• Bunions

Even if you’ve received treatments like steroid injections for your pain before without success, RIT can help. The LeHeal Biogenix team uses RIT as part of a complete pain management approach. This can include physical therapy, trigger point injections, CBD (cannabidiol), class IV laser treatments, and other therapies.
