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.
Geriatric Pain Reviews
This is my first visit it went pretty good I felt relaxed with them and it seemed like he truly really wanted to help me to get my pain in order and I'm looking forward to my next visit till I see I can see where we go next on handling my pain shook my hand very polite very good doctor
They take there time and really gets to know you and everything about while your there and what kind of pain your in and what's bothering you
Dr T is very knowledgeable and positive. HIs concern for each and every patient is very evident. Also all the people at pain zero work hard to keep schedules in order. It is very rare that I have to wait past my scheduled time.
I had my nerve stimulator put in permanent on March 31. At first it was rough because they cut you open. My back felt so much better after the pain wore off after the third day. I would recommend it to all who will listen. It only took 46 minutes from beginning to end. I'm truly grateful. I got to go home after the sedition wore off. My brother even came up to visit from Chicago who wears a Lavad unit to surprise me . He and his wife. It was like if he can do it I can do it. Won't He do it Yeah He will.
Both the doctors are really concerned and taken care of my pain and my lower back very great place to go to good people even the receptionists are very nice for friendly
