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.

The only Dr. I will ever trust. I don't trust but 2. Period. And Lesley, his Nurse. She is so caring, warm and compassionate. You need a pain Clinic. I recomend her as well. I'm finally going to be out of pain completely. I have not slept in so many years. I'll keep yall up to date. Thank you Dr.T and Lesley. Yall are a Blessing.
I was hesitant to go to pain management even though I should’ve done this two years ago. I survived a gunshot to the head and I have nerve damage so I have extreme pain almost all the time my provider.Lesley Is incredible. She is so empathetic and understanding we haven’t found the right one just yet but I think we’re pretty close. She never judges. She is never insinuated that I’m a drug seeker or anything like that. She’s dealt with prior authorizations and everything else to get Me in a good spot. She is by far my favorite practitioner.
Lesley is Amazing. She is always listening and gets it ! She hears what I say..she is genuine. And smart...I am always confident that my pain,when it flares up, will be addressed. Im so thankful for Pain Zero where your pain is their specialty. Trust in them they are all fantastic. If I have to go through the rest of my life with issues theres no other place that Id trust going through pain. My pain is managed and they jst are the Best.
Dr Harris and his staff are very professional and caring. We are working on getting my pain pump regulated. I am sure he will do what is necessary for a smooth transition.
