Pain management is the medical field covering the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of painful conditions. The doctors specializing in this field help by cure or mitigate the suffering of people with chronic illnesses or lingering pain from accidents or surgeries. They perform nonsurgical interventions, like the use of nerve blocks, spinal injections, and prescription drugs to help with the persistent or permanent painful medical conditions.
When pain management doctors are negligent, they can end up prescribing excessive treatments or excessive amounts and dosages of painkillers, like opioids. These, in particular, are effective pain management tools. But they are highly addictive and come with many harmful side effects.
