Contact UsWhat Is Geriatric Pain?
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
everything was very good for meat pain zero. I appreciate the attention from doctorVeronica and also from the staff at the office everyone is very friendly .
Dr. Harris has restored my faith in humanity! The compassion he showed me today with all the surgeries I’ve been through he has made me feel seen and heard! He came up with a game plan to tackle his pain and to get me off some medication’s. I look forward to my treatment plan and my follow up visits. God was definitely looking out for me when I scheduled with him
This place is amazing and the best Pain Clinic I’ve ever been to! The staff is incredible! And Lesley Newell is the best!!!! Having 17 spine surgeries I’ve had a lot of nerve damage and neurological junk going on with my legs and arms that I’ve dealt with for several years that nobody could seem to help with. After my visit with Leslie Newell, she solved that for me and I am just amazed that this lady knew exactly what to do to help me and now I haven’t dealt with that neurological issue now for a little over a month. She is amazing! And if any of the Pain Zero staff sees this, please relay this to Lesley! She is a godsend! 🙏🏼
I feel like Leslie Newell is the first person who understand my mothers chronic pain.
