A member asked:

How can a pain management center be different from just seeing a regular dr?

Pain centers: They are equipped with the equipment for procedures to treat pain. The physician is specialized in identifying the cause of pain and in its treatment using medicines and procedures, physical therapy, etc. The doc will tell you which method or association is the best. He will request investigations such as nerve conduction studies, MRI and ct scans as necessary.
