Pain management

Pain management is the branch of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating chronic and acute pain that reduces the patient’s quality of life.
It does not simply “mask” the symptoms: it aims to treat the causes of pain and relieve suffering, giving back wellbeing and independence in everyday life.

What is it and how does it work

Pain management combines drug, physical, injection-based and instrumental approaches, tailored to the type of pain and to the patient’s needs.
The aim is to reduce the intensity of the pain, manage it better and help the patient return to their activities without limitations.

The methods used include:

  • Specific medication (anti-inflammatories, painkillers, opioids in selected cases).

  • Targeted injections and nerve blocks.

  • Minimally invasive interventional techniques.

  • Physiotherapy and rehabilitation support.

  • Multidisciplinary approaches, including psychological support.

Why is it useful

Pain management is suitable for all patients with persistent pain, often resistant to conventional treatment. It helps with:

  • chronic joint and muscle pain (osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck pain);

  • neuralgia and peripheral neuropathy;

  • pain after surgery or injury;

  • cancer pain;

  • chronic headache and migraine;

  • pain syndromes caused by degenerative or rheumatic diseases.

Benefits for the patient

  • A personalised approach based on the type and intensity of the pain.

  • Better quality of life and mobility.

  • Less uncontrolled use of painkillers.

  • Safe, gradual treatments, adapted to clinical needs.

  • Support from a specialised multidisciplinary team.

Preparing for the test / treatment

There is no standard preparation, as the treatment plan depends on each patient’s clinical condition. At the first visit the doctor takes a careful medical history and pain assessment, which is used to define the most suitable treatment plan.

 

With its pain management service, CalatafimiMed puts the patient at the centre, offering personalised and innovative treatments to fight chronic pain and restore wellbeing, independence and peace of mind in everyday life.
