• Osteoporosis
• Headaches
• Arthritis
  Causes of hip pain are varied and can be triggered by specific medical conditions or diseases. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the most common causes of hip pain, and infectious (or septic) arthritis can also cause pain in the hips. This type of regional pain can also be triggered by poor posture and prolonged bouts of inactivity.
• Fibromyalgia
  According to the National Fibromyalgia Association, as many as 12 million people in the United States currently suffer from fibromyalgia pain – approximately 3% of the U.S. population.
• Medical Weight Loss
  Getting a medical opinion at the right time can help arrest the progress of the disease even though it can not be completely reversed. The treatment of osteoarthritis is based on the symptoms and the locations where they are experienced. Doctors treat this condition with a combination of therapies including: rest, lifestyle changes, dietary changes, exercise, weight loss, hot/cold therapy, as well as over-the-counter medication such as oral and topical analgesics.
• Rheumatology
  Pain is the hallmark of fibromyalgia and is used in the diagnosis of this condition. According to the diagnostic guidelines of the American College of Rheumatology, individuals must be in widespread, continuous pain for at least 3 months to be considered as a diagnosis by a physician.
• Primary Care
  In 2005 Robert visited his primary care physician because of a problem he had with his shoulder. He was told to exercise more and that it should improve. However, the pain increased to a point they he couldn’t move his shoulder. He is a construction superintendent for truck drivers who pave highways. Not only was he miserable, but he couldn’t work.
• Sleep Disorders
  Fibromyalgia symptoms are characterized by muscle pain and tenderness. This disorder amplifies the way in which the brain receives pain signals from different stimuli and causes widespread pain in the musculoskeletal system. Besides pain in multiple parts of the body, fibromyalgia often causes severe mood swings, depression, chronic fatigue, and sleep disorders due to the level of pain being experienced. These factors all combine to lower the quality of life for those that have been diagnosed with this disorder.

However, taking some basic precautions can help reduce the chance of developing CRPS...

Internists

• Kidney Stones

• Colon Cancer
  In 2004 she was diagnosed with colon cancer. When she was being treated for that cancer, which is now in remission, she didn’t experience the migraine headaches. The cancer medications were addressing her pain with her headaches. As soon as she was no longer taking the medication for cancer, her headaches came back with a vengeance.
• Lung Cancer
  Some types of cancers secrete proteins (for example, a paraneoplastic syndrome in cell lung cancer), which can cause extreme pain.

Neurologists

• Neurology
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  Surgical procedures are only considered as an option in the most severe CRPS cases. For example, if the condition is a result of a compressed nerve caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, then the Neurosurgeon or Orthopedist may recommend surgery to release the pressure on the nerve. This may include a upper thoracic or lumbar surgical sympathectomy – In this procedure, a portion of the sympathetic nerve trunk is surgically destroyed (by cutting, burning, or clipping).

  Dr. Malone listened carefully to him describe his problem and told Robert he thought he could help him. First, he had an MRI which revealed that he had two herniated discs.

• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
• Computed Tomography
  In more serious conditions that are diagnosed using X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, electro myelogram, or a nerve conduction study to understand the extent of nerve damage. Treatment options vary from injection therapy such as nerve block injections, precision nerve injections, or epidural injections; to surgery to procedures such as spinal cord stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, and stronger medications.
• Chemotherapy
  Treatment of cancer — The pain of treatment can contribute significantly to the pain of the disease itself in the case of surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, use of angiogenesis inhibitors or radiation.

• Whiplash
  Injury – Any minor injury such as a fall or a strain where the ligaments and muscles in the neck move unnaturally, or out of their natural range of motion, can cause neck pain. Pain caused by sudden and jerky movements of the neck (a fall, contact sports or car wreck) can also have a whiplash effect.
• Arthroscopy
  Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure where a fiberoptic endoscope is inserted into the joint through a small incision. A second scope then washes away all the debris that is released from the cartilage as well as any crystals and bone fragments, and smooths rough surfaces and repairs tears. This is considered to be a quick surgery with less recovery time.
• Wound Care
  Along with switching to oral pain medications after surgery, your surgeon will also recommend general post-surgical care instructions such as application of ice, rest, elevation, wound care, and rehabilitation.
• Pinched Nerve
  Discectomy — This procedure involves the removal of some or all of the damaged disc. This is done to relieve pressure on a pinched nerve, which causes severe pain in upper or lower extremities.
• Joint Replacement
  For chronic musculoskeletal pain, surgical options include laminectomy, soft tissue and cartilage repair, joint replacement, and arthroscopy.
• Orthopedic Surgery
  Often, physical and occupational therapists may be involved by your physician to assist you in the process of rehabilitation via a combination of therapies and exercises. In case none of these treatments have proved their efficacy, your physician may recommend that you consult a spinal surgeon or orthopedic surgery for surgical processes known as arthroplasty and total joint arthroplasty.
• Neurosurgery

The doctors and nurses at Advanced Pain Care and Advanced Neurosurgery are leading experts in the diagnosis and treatment of all forms of nerve damage. We work to eliminate or minimize the cause of nerve damage and eliminate or minimize chronic neuropathic pain. We are world leaders in spinal stimulation – the ultimate treatment for nerve damage.
• Arthroscopy
  Patients with progressive forms of arthritis are often recommended to undergo hip replacement surgery. Hip resurfacing is advised for younger patients as an alternative to surgery. Hip arthroscopy is broader in its capabilities and is often used to fix conditions such as labrum and cartilage tears, early onset arthritis and hip joint damage.
• Hip Replacement
  More advanced treatment can include physical therapy, injections and surgery if necessary. Total hip replacement is a very successful procedure in advanced hip joint disease.

• Ankle Sprain
  By Advanced Pain Care; an interview with Dr. Victor Taylor “Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.” This quote by Albert Swietzer is, fortunately not a truth most of us have to deal with on a daily basis. For some people, however, pain becomes an ever-present part of their lives. Everyone has experienced pain. By the time we are old enough to remember anything we have had multiple falls, pinches, scrapes, and dings. By the time we reach adulthood, most people have had a sprained ankle, broken bone, or a cut that required stitches. As we progress through
