Pain Medicine is a super-specialty branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and relieving chronic pain. Unlike regular treatment that may focus only on the disease, Pain Medicine looks at pain itself as a problem and uses medicines, minimally invasive procedures, and holistic care to improve quality of life.
वेदनाशास्त्र हे वैद्यकशास्त्रातील एक विशेष शाखा आहे ज्यामध्ये दीर्घकाळ होणाऱ्या वेदना ओळखून त्यावर औषधे, सूक्ष्म उपचार व समग्र पद्धतीने उपचार केले जातात.
वेदनाशास्त्र तज्ञाकडे कधी जावे?
You should consult a pain specialist if you have pain lasting more than 3 months, pain that is not relieved with routine treatment, or pain that affects your daily activities, sleep, or emotional well-being.
जर तुम्हाला ३ महिन्यांपेक्षा जास्त काळ वेदना होत असतील, साध्या औषधांनी फायदा होत नसेल, किंवा वेदना दैनंदिन कामात अडथळा आणत असतील तर वेदनाशास्त्र तज्ञांचा सल्ला घ्यावा.
Can pain be managed without surgery?
शस्त्रक्रिया न करता वेदना कमी करता येतात का?
Yes. Most chronic pain can be treated without surgery. Pain specialists use medications, nerve blocks, injections, radiofrequency, and other minimally invasive techniques. These are safer alternatives when surgery is not required or not possible.
होय. बहुतेक वेदना औषधे, इंजेक्शन्स, नर्व ब्लॉक, रेडिओफ्रिक्वेन्सी यांसारख्या सूक्ष्म उपचारांनी कमी करता येतात. शस्त्रक्रियेची गरज फार कमी रुग्णांना पडते.
What types of pain conditions do you treat?

Are the treatments safe and effective?

Do injections for pain relief hurt?
. वेदनाशमनाचे इंजेक्शन दुखते का?
The procedures are usually done under local anesthesia or mild sedation, so discomfort is minimal. Most patients tolerate them very well and can return home the same day.
ही प्रक्रिया स्थानिक भूल किंवा सौम्य सम्पूर्ण भूल येणारे औषधं देऊन केली जाते. त्यामुळे त्रास खूपच कमी होतो व रुग्ण बहुतेक वेळा त्याच दिवशी घरी जाऊ शकतो.

कर्करोगाच्या वेदनांसाठी मॉर्फिन सारखी औषधे सुरक्षित आहेत का?
