Pain Management in Grand Rapids, MI
Foot Pain Treatment & Ankle Pain Treatment & Leg Pain Treatment
At Grand Rapids Pain, we understand the impact that upper extremity pain can have on your daily life. Our team of specialists is committed to providing personalized care and developing tailored treatment plans to address your unique needs.
We offer a wide range of treatments for conditions that cause foot and ankle pain, including:
- Phantom Limb Pain: Phantom limb pain is a type of pain that occurs in individuals who have had a limb amputated. At Grand Rapids Pain, our experienced team specializes in managing phantom limb pain. We offer a range of treatment options, including medications, nerve blocks, mirror therapy, and state-of-the-art neuromodulation therapy which digitally reduces pain signals in the lower limb to non-pain signals without major surgery or disrupting the normal function of the limb. We also offer counseling and a myriad of other state-of-the-art treatments.
- Arthritis: Arthritis is a common condition that causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints. Whether you are dealing with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or another form of the disease, our team at Grand Rapids Pain offers comprehensive arthritis pain management. Treatment options may include medications, joint injections, physical therapy, assistive devices, and lifestyle modifications to reduce pain, improve joint function, and enhance your overall mobility.
- Cancer Pain: Living with cancer is challenging enough, and managing cancer-related pain can further impact your quality of life. At Grand Rapids Pain, we understand the unique needs of individuals with cancer and provide compassionate care tailored to your specific situation. Our multidisciplinary approach to cancer pain management may include medications, interventional procedures, palliative care techniques, counseling, and support services to help alleviate pain and improve your overall well-being. Our treatments are unique in that if indicated, the treatment reduces pain from the cancer, with much fewer side-effects than typical cancer pain treatments (confusion, nausea, vomiting, excessive sleepiness). For those patients who, unfortunately, suffer from cancer-related pain syndrome, our goal is to reduce the pain from the cancer while allowing the patient to spend quality time with their family, friends, and loved ones.
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, also known as CRPS, is a chronic pain condition that typically affects the arms, legs, hands, feet, mid to lower abdomen, pelvis, and even other areas, such as the face and head. At Grand Rapids Pain, our highly skilled specialists are experienced in diagnosing and treating CRPS. We offer personalized treatment plans that may include medications, nerve blocks, physical therapy, spinal cord stimulation, and state-of-the-art neuromodulation (depending on the medical indication, either spinal neuromodulation, or the state-of-the-art treatment for refractory lower limb, ankle, or foot pain). Dorsal Root Ganglion Neuromodulation therapy is a new FDA-approved, effective technique that is considered to be the “best practice” for this type of chronic pain. DRG as well as other neuromodulation techniques are minimally invasive (no major surgery) procedures that change pain signals to non-pain signals using tiny devices that are so small that no one can see, or even feel them. In addition, we offer psychological support, and a caring and supportive staff to reduce pain, restore function, and improve your quality of life.
- Diabetic Neuropathy: Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur in individuals with diabetes. Managing diabetic neuropathy pain requires a comprehensive approach. At Grand Rapids Pain, we provide personalized treatment plans that may include medications, nerve blocks, DRG and epidural neuromodulation, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications to help alleviate pain, improve nerve function, and enhance your overall well-being.
- Peripheral Neuropathy: Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. At Grand Rapids Pain, our experienced team specializes in managing peripheral neuropathy pain. We offer a range of treatment options, including medications, nerve blocks, digital neuromodulation, physical therapy, and alternative therapies, to help reduce pain, improve nerve function, and enhance your quality of life.
- Muscle Pain: Muscle pain, also known as myalgia, can arise from various causes, such as muscle strains, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. At Grand Rapids Pain, we provide comprehensive evaluations to identify the root cause of your muscle pain. Our treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, trigger point injections, and lifestyle modifications to alleviate pain, improve muscle function, and promote overall healing.
- Nerve Pain: Nerve pain, also known as neuropathic pain, is a complex condition that can be challenging to manage. At Grand Rapids Pain, our skilled specialists are experienced in diagnosing and treating nerve pain. We provide personalized treatment plans that may include medications, nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation, DRG neuromodulation, physical therapy, and alternative therapies to alleviate pain and improve your quality of life.
- Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD): Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, also known as RSD, is a chronic condition characterized by severe and persistent pain, often affecting the extremities. Our compassionate team at Grand Rapids Pain is dedicated to helping individuals with RSD find relief. We offer a range of treatment options, including medications, nerve blocks, spinal cord neuromodulation, DRG neuromodulation, physical therapy, psychological support, and alternative therapies, to effectively manage symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
