Recognizing the Symptoms of a Traumatic Injury
If pain persists for weeks or months despite conservative care, physical therapy, or rest, it may indicate an underlying, untreated injury. Common signs include:
- Pain that does not improve over time
- Limited range of motion
- Persistent stiffness or swelling
- Weakness or instability in the affected area
Early diagnosis and intervention can prevent long-term complications and chronic pain syndromes.
If your pain is persistent or worsening, OPS Surgery Center can help identify the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Diagnosis: Identifying the Root Cause
At OPS Surgery Center, we use a comprehensive approach to diagnose traumatic injuries, including:
- Detailed medical history and physical examination
- Advanced imaging tests, such as MRI, X-ray, CT scan, or ultrasound
- Blood tests to assess inflammatory or systemic conditions
By accurately identifying the source of pain, we can tailor a targeted treatment plan for effective and lasting relief.
Treatment Options for Traumatic Injuries
While medications may provide temporary relief, they are not always effective for long-term pain management and can have unwanted side effects. At OPS Surgery Center, we specialize in cutting-edge, non-surgical treatments designed to relieve pain and promote healing naturally.
Regenerative Medicine Therapies
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – Uses your own platelets and growth factors to promote nerve healing and tissue regeneration.
- Stem Cell Therapy – Harvests and concentrates your own stem cells to regenerate damaged tissue and stimulate healing.
Minimally Invasive Pain Management
- Nerve Blocks – Image-guided injections deliver local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication to injured nerves for diagnostic and therapeutic relief.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – Uses FM radio waves to desensitize pain-causing nerves. Relief typically lasts 9-12 months and can be repeated as needed.
Advanced Neuromodulation Therapies
- Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) – FDA-approved therapy that blocks nerve pain using a small lead, similar to a pacemaker wire.
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) – Uses a small lead and battery to block pain signals at the spinal cord level, offering long-term relief for chronic pain.
