Chronic pain lasts 3 months or longer, and it may continue even after the original injury has healed.
A nerve, joint, or muscle may stay irritated long after the initial problem, even without an obvious cause. When that discomfort begins limiting your movement, it may be time to consider chronic pain treatment. In West Bloomfield, we identify what keeps symptoms active and build care around the source so physical activity feels possible again.

We start by discussing your symptoms and locating where your pain begins. A focused exam helps us identify the tissue or nerve involved, so we can recommend treatment based on the source and spread of your symptoms.
Once we recommend a treatment, your provider explains how the care will affect the painful area and what you may feel during the appointment. We use numbing medication when needed and pause if discomfort becomes too strong.
Some treatments work best as a series, while others only need repeating when relief begins to fade. We track how long your results last and where symptoms return, then adjust your chronic pain treatment. In West Bloomfield, your ongoing plan reflects how your body responds.
Every person experiences pain differently. Share your symptoms through our Treatment Planning Tool and receive a personalized treatment plan from our experts.
Preparation begins before chronic pain treatment. In West Bloomfield, our team reviews your health history and current medications to confirm that your chosen option is safe for you.
Your pre-care instructions depend on your chosen pain management strategy. We may ask you to modify your eating or drinking habits or pause certain medications with your primary care provider’s approval. Some procedures also require clean skin or a driver to take you home.
Starting treatment may feel intimidating when you already live with ongoing pain. For some procedures, we use lidocaine to numb the treatment area, while chiropractic care, acupuncture, and spinal decompression generally do not require anesthetic.
Your provider explains the possible sensations before you begin and checks in throughout the appointment. You never have to push through excessive discomfort, and our team can pause treatment if you need to take a moment.
Recovery requirements range from no downtime to several days of modified activity, depending on the service you receive.
Before you leave, our team explains how to care for the treatment area and when you can return to your usual routine.
At Michigan Spine & Pain, our experts recommend chronic pain treatment in West Bloomfield to improve movement and reduce recurring pain flares.
Pain can cause you to move less or change how you walk, bend, or stand. Reducing pressure or irritation can restore more natural movement and make everyday tasks feel less restricted.
Ongoing discomfort can lead to muscle tension and reduced activity, which may contribute to another flare. Instead of managing each episode separately, treatment directly addresses any irritation or pain signals that keep the cycle active.
Your treatment needs may change as symptoms improve or return. Regular follow-up helps our team adjust the timing of your visits and decide when to add or change services to better support your progress.
The right treatment depends on:
During your evaluation, our specialists review your symptoms and perform a focused exam. EMG testing may provide further clarity when symptoms suggest nerve involvement.
This diagnosis-first process guides your chronic pain treatment. In West Bloomfield, the Michigan Spine & Pain team uses those findings to target the source instead of the symptom alone. Your plan may include one treatment or a combination based on what the evaluation reveals.
Yes, different services address different parts of a pain pattern. Spinal decompression can reduce pressure around a disc, while an epidural injection calms inflammation near an irritated nerve.
Our experts recommend a combination plan only when each service has a clear role in your treatment strategy.
Your chronic pain treatment schedule depends on the service we select and how long your results last. As general examples:
During your consultation, we provide a more detailed estimate of your unique treatment timeline.
Many nonsurgical services require little or no downtime.
Your provider explains the restrictions that apply to your specific procedure before treatment.
Previous care still gives our team useful information, even if it didn’t work long-term! We look at what changed and which symptoms remained.
Limited relief might mean the treatment addressed only one part of the problem or that the original diagnosis needs another look. Our specialists may recommend new testing before changing your treatment strategy.
