Our bodies change as we age. This includes the following anatomical and physiological changes:
- Cardiovascular
- Pulmonary central nervous system
- Endocrine
- Renal
- Hepatic
- Immune
- Gastrointestinal
- Other overall body systems
Common conditions causing pain for the aging elderly include arthritis, menopause, and low testosterone or male hypogonadism. Our pain care specialists at Pain Zero will assess how well a patient is engaged in daily life, discuss their role in their own pain management, and consider the least invasive way to address pain in Central Ohio patients.
Treating Geriatric Pain
Physiological changes cause such conditions as arthritis, menopause, or low testosterone, generating pain in muscles and joints. Effective non-pharmacological approaches to reduce pain include physical therapy and interventional behavioral therapy, as well as educating patients and caregivers about treatment options. Other treatments include non-opioid and opioid medications, pain-modulating drugs, topical agents, and other innovative therapies aimed at reducing pain and swelling in the joints.
Permanent treatments of arthritis pain include:
- Radiofrequency Ablation
- Kyphoplasty
- Minimally invasive lumbar decompression (mild)
All treatments offer same day relief and walk out of the procedure area.

I live the bottom of Ohio Heard about doctor Harris I’ve seen a pain clinic here for almost 2 years and it took seven months just to get an MRI. Today was my second Time seeing him and I absolutely love him. He’s so considerate. he listens to you and that’s something hard to find. We are working on a plan right now and so far. I trust him and he’s done more for me in a month than almost 2 years at the one down here.
You are made to feel welcomed by the nice relaxing environment and friendly nursing staff. Dr Marcus is a very sweet and kind Dr. He is concerned about the way you feel he doesn't just rush you out the door he makes sure you are comfortable and you are feeling ZERO PAIN. HE is willing to explore all avenues of pain relief to help you.
I saw Dr.T today for my first consult appointment. I will be honest, I went in extremely apprehensive. I was expecting to be shrugged off, but it was anything but that! I was given so much information, I was given options for medications or creams, I was told that they can provide supportive care instead of bandaid treatments. I was so impressed, honestly. The doctor was very knowledgeable and personable. He listened to me and made me feel heard. I'm looking forward to working with them to help my pain.
Once again, Dr. Harris zeroed in on the cause of my newest pain & came up with a solution to alleviate it for me. He is a gifted Dr.
