A specialty of medic: The purpose of pain management is as it sounds to manage a person;s pain. If done right, a cause should be looked for first. If done right, it shouldn't be just medication but rather include lifestyle modifications, psychological or behavioral interventions, exercise or physical therapy and sometimes alternative treatments too like acupuncture.
