A Comprehensive Guide to Interventional Pain Management with Dr. Jonathan Reisman

kayalortho Podcast

Do you ever wonder why pain feels the way it does? Or how to manage it effectively? We're pulling back the curtain on these questions with our esteemed guest, Dr. Jonathan Reisman, a board-certified physiatrist from the Kayal Orthopaedic Center. Together, we navigate the elusive world of pain management, shining a light on the different types of pain - nociceptive, neuropathic, somatic, and visceral - and unveiling the intricate network of nerve fibers transmitting these signals to our brains.
But it's not just about the physical. We also delve into the psychological aspect of pain, underlining the integral role the doctor-patient relationship plays in addressing secondary gain issues. Understanding pain isn't merely a medical exercise; it's a human one too. We delve into the power of patient education, setting expectations before surgery, and addressing possible roadblocks that could hinder recovery.
We wrap up by impressing upon you the critical importance of multimodal pain management. From early and aggressive treatment to prevent chronic pain, to the application of preemptive anesthesia and regional blocks, we leave no stone unturned. We also explore the role of radiofrequency ablation, medication, and the often underplayed value of exercise, physical therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic in improving mobility and reducing pain. Tune in as we demystify the fascinating world of interventional pain management with Dr. Reisman.
