About Pain Management

Orthopedic pain management is a specialized, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating chronic or acute pain originating from the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. An orthopedic specialist employs a comprehensive strategy, starting with conservative treatments like physical therapy and medications, and progressing to advanced interventional procedures if needed. These targeted interventions, such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, or joint injections, aim to reduce inflammation, block pain signals, and restore function. The ultimate goal is to improve a patient's quality of life, enhance mobility, and avoid or delay the need for more invasive surgical options through personalized, evidence-based care.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
