The practice of pain management can include many types of treatments, ranging from oral medications to patient controlled IV infusions to spinal injections, physical and occupational therapy,
supportive counseling, and even alternative methods like acupuncture. Concord Hospital supports a wide variety of approaches, by practioners from various disciplines, in our efforts to relieve
pain.
Physiatry
Concord Hospital physiatrists are physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists who provide evaluation and treatment of patients with neurologic, musculoskeletal or cardiopulmonary disease,
disorder or injury that impairs normal, functional capacity. Physiatrists treat various disorders including, but not limited to arthritis, back pain, work and sports-related injuries, and brain or
spinal cord injuries.
Rheumatolgy
Concord Hospital-affiliated rheumatologists care for patients with disease of the joints, muscles, bones, and tendons. They diagnose and treat arthritis, back pain, muscle strains, common
athletic injuries, and collagen diseases. Rheumatologists also work closely with other specialists, including orthopaedic surgeons and physical therapists, to ensure patients receive the best
possible care.
