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
An excellent doctor he goes over great detail of what he has to do what you have to do and a precise regimen and I appreciate that he takes the time and listens to me and my pain where it's at how it's happening he's a very good doctor by one of the best ones I've seen in my 55 years of my life
Well done they have been very concerned with my health and pain, thank you pain zero, very well done, I’ve never had a team care about me before, it’s unreal how they treat me and the care I get mos definitely true, they keep asking me for a review, so again they have been great, never had a dr or staff be like they are, greatly appreciated and welcomed the care they give out, I was really blessed to be here with them for real, I thank God for them they have made me a happy client, and they really care about you also
Dr Harris is the first doctor to ever make me feel seen. He doesn't gaslight me about my pain. He is always smiling and his presence lights up the room every time he comes in. He remembers details from conversations at previous appointments. He is through about explaining things and always happy to answer questions.I get trigger point injections 3x a year and SI joint injections 2x a year to help deal with pain related to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I'm also prescribed a muscle relaxer to take as needed for my symptoms.The office staff remembers my name without me telling them during check in even though I only come in every three months or so. The office is always clean. I rarely wait more than 5-10 minutes for my appointment.
I feel alot better now that's my doctor listening to me and sending me to pain zero. And Lesley is going to do everything that I may need to stop being in pain.
