The leading expert in musculoskeletal medicine discusses her approach to pain management and management in the September issue of Women’s Journal.
dr Patricia Delzell describes herself as an integrative pain doctor. She approaches pain from both a traditional and complementary medicine perspective. According to the article published in Women’s Journal, the advantage of this approach is to ensure an environment “optimal for healing.” The chronic pain doctor uses the traditional medical model to take the necessary medical history and perform a thorough physical examination, so the average office visit is quite long. In some cases, patients can expect two consultation visits to take up to three hours. However, Dr Delzell sees it as time well spent because it gives her the understanding to address the issue.
It is estimated that over 50 million US adults suffer from chronic pain. Chronic pain costs $80 billion in lost wages for those unable to work due to varying degrees of pain. A new study suggests that chronic pain affects, on average, about 20% of Americans at any one time. However with Extended MMCit is possible to treat a wide range of pain types and professionals like Dr. Delzell have successfully helped numerous clients over the years.
dr Delzell mentions that the first visit is a telemedicine visit, after which a summary of the call is reviewed, which helps develop a treatment plan. Professionals also rely on ultrasound to assess problematic points and assess the surrounding soft tissue to ensure proper biomechanics. Sometimes the area of pain may be secondary to the actual area where the patient may complain of pain. In other words, people who complain of a sore hip often do so because of a muscle strain, but muscle strains can also be caused by other muscles or an imbalance in the back.

“As a chronic pain doctor who has been helping people manage pain for years, I can say that the sooner you seek treatment, the better. Early treatment can mean you’ll feel better sooner, and it can often take a long time for the problem to be diagnosed. However, all cases are different; That is why we can only carry out any kind of treatment if we start with a full examination.” said dr Patricia Delzell.
she added “You don’t have to learn to live with pain like some people assume. Musculoskeletal pain, like any other form of pain, can vary in intensity. However, that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. Thanks to the latest technology and research, we are now able to treat pain much more effectively than before. I’m looking at these kinetic chains to ensure proper muscle function and looking at the fascia that may be scarred and restricting movement as part of my study.”
