Many spinal patients feel why life has to face repeated pain. Before treatment, there is back pain; after surgery, there is wound pain… But if you come to the Spinal Nervous System Center at Phyathai 3 Hospital, you can be assured because we provide care to manage pain, eliminating problems with pain after spinal surgery.
Understanding every need… Eliminating post-surgical pain
One reason patients hesitate to undergo surgery is the fear of post-surgical pain. However, our surgical treatment understands every patient’s need, and to prevent enduring pain after treatment, we have pain management techniques appropriately applied through pain management methods.
What is pain management technique?
Pain management technique is a multidisciplinary care approach involving spinal surgery doctors, anesthesiologists, and nursing teams to help patients recover without pain from surgery. It includes:
- The selection of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery approach, where the surgical wound is small, causing minimal injury to surrounding tissues and less blood loss, resulting in less pain from the wound and faster patient recovery.
- In cases requiring open large incisions, we prepare from the preoperative process and plan through postoperative care to help reduce pain for patients with medications and various pain relief techniques such as:
- Medications acting on the nervous system to reduce pain sensation
- Medications acting on nerves that receive pain signals
- Back blocks that help reduce pain from large surgical wounds, including planning continuous care after surgery to get through the period of severe pain
- Use of patient-controlled analgesia devices after surgery, allowing patients to control pain medication administration themselves instead of requesting medication when feeling pain, under medical supervision to set appropriate dosage levels
Systematic work for strong bones of patients
After patients undergo spinal and spinal nervous system surgery, they will receive care from a multidisciplinary medical team, with physical therapists playing a key role. Once patients experience less pain from pain management techniques, they are ready to undergo physical therapy to rehabilitate the body according to the doctor’s treatment plan and for strong health.
