Pain Management Specialist & Anesthesiologist in Twin Falls

Pain management is an area of medicine that specializes in developing plans to treat pain. There are two types of pain: acute and chronic pain.

Acute pain

Acute pain is sudden, sometimes severe, pain that develops after an injury or medical condition. This type of pain is normal and usually goes away once the underlying injury or medical condition resolves.

Chronic pain

Chronic pain is pain that lasts 3 or more months. This type of pain may develop after acute pain or from an underlying health condition.

Southern Idaho Pain Institute offers conservative and minimal invasive pain management treatments.

Conservative pain management

Conservative pain management includes medication and physical therapy, including psoriatic arthritis relief. The Twin Falls team may recommend conservative pain management for your condition.

Treatment may include over the counter medication or prescription pain medication, depending on the cause and severity of your pain. Physical therapy for pain may include heat and ice or an exercise program.

Minimally invasive pain management

When conservative pain management fails to provide significant relief, the Southern Idaho Pain Institute team may recommend minimally invasive pain management treatments. 

Our Twin Falls pain management specialist performs minimally invasive procedures at our state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical center. Some of the minimally invasive procedures they offer include epidural injections, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, hyaluronic acid injections, and nerve blocks.

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP therapy is also available for many chronic pain conditions, like arthritis and the hips or knees.

All the minimally invasive pain management procedures the team performs are safe and clinically proven to be highly effective.
