Our team at Republic is in the business of relieving pain. We want to understand your pain, find the source, both physically and why it’s occurring, and work with you to find a plan to relieve that pain. No pain treatment will work the same for every person, if it did, our jobs would be easier. One of the treatments we use are blocks which even vary in how they are done and what pain relief they can provide. The Stellate Ganglion block is one of those at our disposal.

As our team at Republic Pain Specialists discuss pain, the source of it, the magnitude of it, and the treatment of it, we collect information about how unique it is to every patient out there. With our understanding of how truly unique pain is to every single person, we firmly believe that every single treatment plan should be specifically tailored to meet that patient’s needs. Additionally, because there are a number of ways pain impacts your life, both mentally and physically, and a number of...

Seeing people of all ages increasing their activity in our community is very welcome to our team at Republic Pain Specialists. Whether for the pure love of the sport or because it is the best choice for increasing strength and reaching a healthy weight, being active is vital in our lives. Unfortunately, with sports related participation comes sports related injuries in many. These injuries can do more than keep you on the sidelines, they can cause ongoing issues and pain, but we can help.

Republic Pain Specialists are proud of our multimodal response to the pain our clients experience. The pain, in magnitude and cause, differs widely from person to person and the spectrum is vast. We wouldn’t be doing our community a service if we treated everyone’s pain exactly the same. In regards to nerve blocks, we have the experience, the training, and the expertise needed to know when to recommend their use, how to proceed, and what pain relief should look like.

Republic Pain Specialists have built a history on understanding that pain comes from many causes, in many forms, and with many degrees of intensity. In our experience, pain is as unique as the patient who is seeking help and our guidance. Diabetic neuropathy is no exception and has a number of pain related symptoms and issues we can help with.

Arthritis pain may be one of the most well known and easily understood by the public in terms to either experiencing this themselves or knowing someone who does. Arthritis is a condition that impacts more than 23% of the population of the United States, according to the CDC. With such a huge percentage of the population, you would think this would be easy for us to address, but pain is always unique to the individual.

Location. Duration. Intensity. Cause. All characteristics which define your pain. When pain can feel and be different for every single person, the treatment of our patients has to be unique. For these reasons, Republic Pain Specialists offer a number of services to care for the wide range of pain in our patients. A patient typically does not need every single one of our services, but we often use a treatment plan that encompasses several avenues.

As hard as it may be to remember, pain can have a purpose. Sudden, onset pain can be your body’s way of shouting, “Hey, we don’t like that position, you might get hurt!” Pain can be a reminder of your body’s need to heal. Pain can also be an indicator there is something wrong and your body needs help to repair and restore back to normal function. Whatever the case may be, when pain lasts longer than an injury may take to heal, your body is facing chronic pain and may need our help.

Of all the pain we’ve discussed in our pain series, carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most concentrated and isolated pains we can treat. Carpal tunnel syndrome manifests itself in a few different ways and we have a few recommendations for the best ways to relieve pain.

We recognize there are different types of pain and they will impact our lives in a variety of ways. In fact, you don’t begin a pain clinic because there is only one type of pain that may actually be easy to manage and fix! Pain in one person’s lower back is going to manifest itself differently that pain in someone’s feet. Sharp, shooting pain will alter our lives in a way that dull, throbbing pain may not. An often-overlooked component of pain is acute vs. chronic pain. Acute and chronic pain...
