If your chronic pain seems to be difficult to treat, infusion therapy may be right for you. Sometimes chronic pain just won’t budge, so alternative treatments need to be considered. This is where infusion therapy can step in.
Chronic pain can be a serious condition. Even when an injury is healed, the nerves continue to send pain signals to the brain, making it difficult for a patient to feel like they have healed, and causing them strenuous pain. This can lead to a lot of stress in someone’s life and can even lead to depression. Infusion therapy is an alternative way to try to stop your chronic pain from happening while preventing the pain from affecting your mental health.
But what is infusion therapy? Rather than taking medication by mouth, infusion therapy administers medication to the patient through a needle. This method not only allows the medication to reach the bloodstream quickly, but also allows for controlled dosing. Patients can either receive a one-time infusion or return to our facility for a series of them. Either way, patients who receive infusions typically get relief from their chronic pain for three months.
Infusion therapy is recognized as a safe alternative to other pain relief treatments. The American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine and the American Academy of Pain Medicine support infusion therapy as a form of treatment for chronic pain. You should strongly consider infusion therapy as a pain relief treatment if you are struggling to relieve your chronic pain. It is not only effective, but safe.
