Our goal is to help AMC patients return to a normal productive life-style. Whether the pain is short-term or chronic, our skilled team will assess the situation and design a treatment program to address each patient's specific needs.
Today as many as one person in four people suffers from acute or chronic pain intense enough to impact their daily lives. The result is millions of shekels each year in lost wages, productivity and disability costs. The good news is there are many ways to manage chronic pain.
For individuals battling acute or chronic pain, we have an established program that can provide effective treatment against this debilitating condition. Physicians, neurologists, anaesthesiologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, nurses and others work together, screening all pain management patients to determine who would benefit from therapy services in managing their acute or chronic pain.
Medication alone may not be enough to manage certain kinds of pain. Some medicines are more effective in fighting pain when they are combined with other methods of treatment. In some cases, the patient's pain condition may respond to treatment instead of medication. In fact, for some patients, certain therapies may eventually replace the need for taking any pain medicine, or less of it, over time. Here are just some of the available treatments being used successfully to treat pain patients: injection of local anesthetics (including epidurals) or nerve blocks, physical therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and psychological support.
