Here are answers to some common questions about Pain Medicine care with Dr. Daniel Marin:
- What is a Pain Medicine specialist?
- Dr. Marin is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating chronic pain. He focuses on finding the root cause of your pain and creating a personalized plan to improve your function, mobility, and overall well-being, not just on prescribing medication.
- Is the only treatment option more pain medication?
- No. Our approach is multimodal, using a variety of treatments to reduce reliance on oral medications. Dr. Marin focuses on minimally-invasive procedures like targeted injections, nerve blocks, and physical therapy to address the source of the pain, helping patients feel better and live more actively.
- What is an epidural steroid injection and is it safe?
- An epidural steroid injection is a common and effective procedure where a strong anti-inflammatory medication is delivered precisely to the source of pain in the spine. It helps reduce swelling and inflammation around nerves, providing significant relief. When performed by a specialist like Dr. Marin using x-ray guidance, it is a very safe procedure.
- What is Radiofrequency Ablation (or Neurotomy)?
- Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to temporarily reduce or eliminate pain signals from a specific arthritic joint. This technique can provide significant pain relief for 6 months to over a year. It's a long-lasting way to manage joint pain.
- My osteoarthritis makes my knees (or back) so stiff and sore. What can a pain specialist do?
- Dr. Marin understands that osteoarthritis is a common cause of chronic pain. While we can't reverse the arthritis, we can significantly reduce your pain through treatments like joint injections with cortisone or viscosupplements, and for back pain, procedures like radiofrequency ablation. These aim to improve your mobility and comfort.
- How is pain from cancer managed?
- Managing cancer-related pain is a critical part of your overall care and quality of life. Dr. Marin works closely with your oncologist to create a plan that can include carefully managed medications, advanced nerve blocks, or even implantable pain pumps to provide consistent relief while minimizing side effects.
- What is a Spinal Cord Stimulator?
- A spinal cord stimulator is a small, implanted device that sends mild electrical signals to the spinal cord, much like a pacemaker for pain. These signals interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, often replacing pain with a more pleasant sensation or nothing at all. A temporary trial allows patients to experience the therapy before a permanent implant.
- I have terrible nerve pain from my diabetes (neuropathy). Can you help?
- Yes, neuropathic pain requires a different approach than other types of pain. Dr. Marin has expertise in managing this, using specific medications, sympathetic nerve blocks, or even advanced treatments like spinal cord stimulation to calm overactive nerves and provide relief.
