Pain Management

Описание: Exercise is an essential part of a healthy life. “Exercise is incredibly important for patients. For multiple reasons. There's social integration that's really good for your brain health. There's physical exertion, which is great for your body,” said Pain Management Physician Dr. Caroline Brennick.

But over time, these repetitive motions can cause chronic pain. “There's this thing I like to joke with patients is I say, what year were you born? And they say, you know, 1960, like, okay, great. So, if you were born in 1960 and you had a car that was still running in 1960, how would it look like on the road? It takes a lot of tender loving care to keep it going,” said Dr. Brennick.

That’s where pain management physicians can help. “My goal is not necessarily to save your life, but to save your lifestyle. Improving the quality of your life,” said Dr. Brennick. “That's why I like doing what I'm doing is the ability to help patients get back to doing what they love, such as pickleball or golf.

Reducing pain and restoring function without surgery. “My three main pillars of treatment are physical therapy, medications, and injections,” said Dr. Brennick. You can learn more by searching for pain management on leehealth.org.
