Pain is a generalized term that refers to any discomfort, tenderness, or physical suffering caused by an illness or injury. Pain is categorized into two main groups: acute and chronic. Acute pain can be caused by either an injury or illness, although it is most common after sustaining physical trauma. It typically lasts around a few hours (stubbing a toe) to a few weeks (spraining an ankle), and may progress to chronic pain if experienced for longer than a few months. Chronic pain is defined as any pain that lasts longer than three months and can be caused by an injury or an illness. Injuries that result in chronic pain are typically severe and, in many cases, result in internal damage. Illnesses or conditions that result in chronic pain can last for years and may be intermittent or persistent. Fortunately, there are medical professionals who dedicate their careers to helping people manage both chronic and acute pain. Chronic pain frequently needs to be managed in order to live a good quality of life.
Pain management clinics are healthcare facilities that focus on the diagnosis and management of pain, both acute and chronic. They often have an interdisciplinary practice and have clinics staffed with professionals from different backgrounds that take a holistic approach.
These professionals may include:
• Nurses and doctors
• Physical therapists
• Nutritionists and dietitians
These clinics help patients manage pain with physical, behavioral, and psychological therapies and focus on addressing the underlying cause of pain, rather than applying a temporary, topical solution.

During the first visit to a pain clinic, a pain management doctor will go over the patient’s medical history and review the symptoms that they are experiencing. From there, they may perform a physical examination and order diagnostic or imaging tests, such as an x-ray. After reviewing the results, they will work with the patient to develop a customized treatment plan that uniquely addresses their needs.
It may be recommended to go to a pain management clinic if any of the following apply to your situation:
• Pain is present for more than two weeks
• Pain interferes with day-to-day activities
• The injured area looks deformed
