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.

Pain Zero, Dr Marcus Harris, and his staff have been instrumental in helping me manage the pain and limitations caused by a multitude of Orthopaedic injuries. Dr. Marcus truly listens and hears my concerns and works to devise a plan to improve and manage my chronic issues. He is personable, professional, and a leader in his field. His therapies have given me amazing results with managing my pain!
I love going there, the front desk women are amazing and is worth every penny they get. Dr. Mukhadomi. J is great. I would recommend this place to everyone with pain. And they dont push drugs on you.
I feel my progress have improved since being in the care of Dr Marcus Harris and I have been able to avoid going to the ER regarding my physical health challenges. Dr. Harris really do care, very respectful, professional and attentive. I also appreciate the goals he expect out of me to better my physical challenges and pain. I'm grateful for my primary care doctor for referring me to Doctor Marcus Harris. Dr Marcus Harris Staff are all very nice and helpful. They all greet all patients with a Smile. I would recommend Dr. Harris to anyone that's struggling with severe/chronic pain. If you follow his instructions you will not be disappointed. The injections are helpful too.
Had my 1st appt today with Dr. T and I must say it was refreshing to speak to a physician that actually listened to me and together came up with a treatment plan. Looking forward to better pain free days!!
