Pain medicine, pain management, pain control or algiatry, is a branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with chronic pain. “My approach to treating pain is multidisciplinary, including physical rehabilitation, injections, pain psychology, and medications. This approach allows patients to have better control over their pain and more importantly, enables patients to get back to their normal functional and activity levels,” as stated by Dr. Patel.
