Many insurance providers require a referral from a primary care physician before seeing a specialist, while others may allow direct access. It's best to check with your insurance company and the pain management clinic to understand their specific requirements.

What is the meaning of pain management?
Formal Pain Management is a program administered by a Pain Doctor or Pain Clinic, in which the patient voluntarily enters into a contract with the them. It's normally suggested where long term need for stronger pain medication (opiates) are required for moderate to severe chronic pain. Typical contracts have the patient agree to only use one pharmacy, not "doctor shop" for painkillers, maintain a diary of pain experienced, visit the doctor or clinic at regular intervals, and usually for new patients enroll in counseling. The reason for counseling is the with chronic pain, depression is inevitable, and early counseling helps the patient cope with the cultural, medical and family issues that come with long term chronic pain. For those of us with such problems, formal pain programs aren't as much of a big deal as it may seem. The program structure protects both doctor and patient from those who abuse the system, making it difficult for those who need real pain control. I myself am in my 11th year of formal pain management, and it's just a part of life. While inconvenient at times, the alternative is excruciating pain with few options. It's important that you find the right pain management program - there are too many regular doctors or specialists in other fields trying to cash in on the Pain Mgt. field. Stay away from Osteopaths, Anesthesiologists, Orthopedists, etc. who claim to be "Pain Specialists". Real Pain doctors have special training and certification in Pain Management and multiple Pain Control methods, not just drugs. Chiro, Accupressure, Accupuncture, Homeopathic, all are tools in a real pain doctor's kit.

Dealing With Pain?
Pain management is something that all people should know about no matter what their line of work. You can never know when you are going to be injured and will have to know how to deal with the pain that this brings on. You may not have time to get ready for this but will just be thrust into the situation in a matter of seconds. It is good to have an idea of some pain management strategies before you find yourself in this situation so that you can react quickly and effectively to get past the pain and get assistance. Mind over matter really is the biggest thing that you need to think about as far as pain management is concerned. The human mind is a very powerful thing if it is used correctly. Take a few deep breathes, close your eyes, and work on mentally getting past the pain. You really will feel your discomfort lessen if you put your mind to it. Try to think about something else or to think about the pain itself being smaller. Pain is just the body's way of telling you that you need help, and you can fight it down if you help your body understand that you are aware of the problem. The above is a practical, everyday approach to pain management, but this is also a specific medical field for dealing with pain. There are numerous tactics that people in the pain management field employ to best fight back the pain that their patients are feeling. First off, they will try to treat the cause of the pain, the underlying problem that is causing all of the discomfort, and not just the symptoms. They will attempt to diagnose this issue and cure it, knowing that the pain that the person is feeling will go away faster and for a longer period of time -- perhaps forever -- if the cause is treated. When acting on the spot, however, people in the pain management field will use medicines to reduce pain. This can often help the injured person to tell the doctors what is going on so that they can work on the cause.
