Pain Diagnosis Services
The journey to your pain relief starts with an accurate diagnosis of your acute or chronic pain problems. During your initial consultation, our pain management specialists will ask you a series of questions pertaining to your symptoms, such as the location, frequency, intensity, radiation, and duration of your pain, as well as your history of illness, injury, and surgery. With your release, our pain management doctors will obtain documents of previous evaluations from other facilities like pain management clinics, as well as diagnostic studies and treatments so they have a complete picture of your medical history. Depending on you and your condition, a physical examination may be conducted and diagnostic evaluations may be ordered. Such evaluations may be done with the use of sophisticated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, CT scans, X-rays, blood tests, and other devices. Complete laboratory and radiology services are available within our medical office complex.

Pain Treatment Services

There are several types of pain management treatments that could provide you with decreased pain and improved quality of life. For patients with mild to moderate pain, over-the-counter or prescription medications may be successful in alleviating pain and discomfort. For patients who have not responded well to other treatments or whose pain problems interfere with important lifestyle activities or sleep, individual and/or group pain psychology sessions may be recommended. Here, patients are able to learn a variety of pain coping skills. The pain physicians, pain psychologists, and other specialists at the Pain Management Center of Lansing will formulate an individualized treatment plan and discuss it with you in detail. In addition to pharmacologic pain management and pain psychology, PMC Lansing offers other treatment services, such as pain rehabilitation and interventional pain management. If, through diagnosis, it is found that your condition or situation does not require our services, we can refer you to another clinic or appropriate specialist within the mid-Michigan area who will provide you with the pain relief you deserve.
