Patients with chronic pain should consider visiting a chronic pain specialist for several reasons:

  • Expertise in managing chronic pain: Chronic pain specialists have specialised training and expertise in assessing and managing chronic pain. They are familiar with the latest research on chronic pain management and can offer a range of treatment options that may not be available through a primary care physician.
  • Comprehensive assessment: Chronic pain specialists perform a thorough evaluation of a patient’s pain, including a review of their medical history, a physical examination, and possibly imaging studies or other diagnostic tests. This allows for a more accurate diagnosis and individualised treatment plan.
  • Multidisciplinary approach: Chronic pain specialists often work as part of an interdisciplinary team that may include physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals. This team-based approach allows for a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s pain and related problems, leading to the development of a treatment plan that addresses all aspects of the individual’s pain.
  • Access to specialised treatments: Chronic pain specialists can offer a range of treatments that may not be available through a primary care physician, such as nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation, and other interventional pain procedures. They can also guide the appropriate use of medications for chronic pain management.
  • Improved quality of life: Chronic pain can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life, leading to depression, anxiety, and social isolation. Chronic pain specialists can help patients manage their pain more effectively, leading to improved physical function, reduced reliance on opioids, and better overall quality of life.

Visiting a chronic pain specialist can provide patients with specialised expertise, a comprehensive assessment, access to specialised treatments, and improved quality of life. If you are struggling with chronic pain, consider discussing a referral to a chronic pain specialist with your primary care physician.
