Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need to see a pain specialist?

If you have unrelenting pain that has not responded to treatment recommended by your primary care physician or if pain affects your daily activities and is not relieved by medication, you may benefit from seeing a pain specialist. Studies have shown that early intervention and treatment can drastically affect the long-term results of pain.

Will all my pain be resolved?

The amount of pain relief you may experience from pain management treatment is difficult to predict and varies by patient. Many patients report a reduction in their level of pain of 50% to 100%. Our goal is to help our patients achieve the highest level of pain relief possible to permit a return to a productive, satisfying lifestyle.

Will my insurance pay for pain management?

The Pain Management Center at Edgewood Surgical Hospital accepts most insurances including Medicare. If you have any questions, please contact a financial counselor at 724-646-0400.

How can I make an appointment to see a Pain Management Physician?

We recommend that you visit your primary care physician first. They will discuss treatment options with you and contact the Pain Management Center at Edgewood Surgical Hospital with your referral, as well as provide your medical history including test and x-ray or MRI results. This information will help us evaluate the cause of your pain and determine the best course of treatment for you. Additionally, personnel from the Pain Management Center are always available at 724-646-0400 to answer any questions you might have.
