Acute Pain

Acute pain means the pain started recently, within the last few months. It can also mean it is an emergency situation, as in the case of a traumatic injury. Acute pain in the spine tends to happen suddenly and doesn't get worse or go away with activity. Most people come to us when their pain persists without improvement.

Here at The Bonati Institute, we believe that the key to success in treating acute spinal pain is detailed preoperative diagnosis. Our physicians use a wide range of methods to evaluate your health. We have patented instruments, specific tests, and various techniques that will help our highly skilled physicians to evaluate the causes of your acute pain.

Acute Pain Management at the Bonati Institute

Your acute pain might be caused by a car accident or sports injury, or it could have to do with degenerative joint diseases or scar tissue from previous surgeries. You might have a previous surgery that failed to cure your acute pain, joint pain that you can't explain, fibromyalgia, work injuries that haven't been addressed, or even neuromusculoskeletal pain. The Bonati Institute will do a thorough evaluation and comprehensive workup before deciding whether surgery is an option for you.

Our pain management center is designed to offer you pain relief after a Bonati procedure. Discomfort is usually minor, and we encourage exercise such as walking immediately after surgery. Nevertheless, we do prescribe epidural steroid injections, anti-inflammatories, and mild pain relievers to encourage movement and keep your recovery comfortable.
