Here are answers to some common questions about Pain Medicine care with Dr. Stephanie Webb:
- What is a Pain Medicine specialist?
- A pain medicine specialist, like Dr. Stephanie Webb, is a medical doctor with specialized training in diagnosing and treating chronic pain. They focus on finding the root cause of pain and creating a comprehensive treatment plan to improve function, mobility, and overall well-being.
- Is the only treatment option more pain medication?
- No. Our approach is multimodal, using various treatments to reduce reliance on oral medications. Dr. Webb focuses on minimally-invasive procedures like targeted injections, nerve blocks, and physical therapy to address the source of pain, helping patients feel better and live more actively.
- What is Radiofrequency Ablation (or Neurotomy)?
- Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to temporarily shut off a nerve sending pain signals from a specific arthritic joint to the brain. This can provide significant pain relief for six months to over a year.
- My back pain has been here for years. Can anything really be done?
- We understand the frustration of chronic back pain, especially when it's been a long-term issue. While a complete cure isn't always possible, significant pain reduction and improved function are often achievable. Dr. Webb uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify the source of your pain and creates a personalized treatment plan, which might include facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, or other targeted therapies.
- My osteoarthritis makes my knees (or back) so stiff and sore. What can a pain specialist do?
- Dr. Webb understands that osteoarthritis is a common cause of chronic pain. We can't reverse the arthritis, but we can significantly reduce your pain with treatments like joint injections or radiofrequency ablation, aiming to improve your mobility and comfort.
- I'm on a blood thinner. Can I still have an injection procedure?
- Patient safety is our top priority. For many procedures, blood thinners may need to be temporarily stopped, but this is always coordinated with your prescribing doctor (like your cardiologist). Dr. Webb will provide very specific instructions on when to stop and restart your medications to ensure the procedure is performed safely.
- What is a facet joint injection?
- A facet joint injection is a precise injection of numbing medicine and a steroid directly into a small, stabilizing joint in your spine (like a knuckle). If these joints become arthritic, they can cause neck or back pain. The injection helps confirm the source of the pain and provide relief.
- What is a Spinal Cord Stimulator?
- A spinal cord stimulator is a small, implanted device that sends mild electrical signals to the spinal cord, similar to a pacemaker for pain. These signals interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, often replacing pain with a pleasant sensation or nothing at all. A temporary trial allows patients to experience the therapy before a permanent implant.
