Educating pain patients is sometimes as simple as just taking the time to explain a bit of the body’s architecture.

While understanding the way a body is put together may not directly reduce pain, the knowledge can give us enough insight to make us feel a little less lost. Dr. Micheal Nicolosi, DO, of The iMsk & Spine Group gives a quick, easy rundown on a common source of pain, the facet joints in the spine.

A patient who understands their body a little more can work with a physician better because there can be clearer conversations to determine pain care solutions.

It’s this sort of simple information that can sometimes make all the difference in some cases

Pain care is not always about pain cure.

Patients generally express far more gratitude when their pain is managed, and they can live as happy a life as possible.

Whether pain from a sudden condition or chronic issues a patient lives with, The iMsk & Spine Group’s Dr. Tova Plaut, DO, finds the gratitude in solution-building for pain patients.

What makes pain care treatment successful is often the listening.

While it is easy to think that pain care is about the medicine and procedures, in reality most patients need ongoing solutions to their management. For Dr. Michael Nicolosi, this means listening to what is going on for the patient with every visit.

There is a real psychological component to how we perceive pain. Often the ability to fee heard and understood plays a role in easing the anxieties which worsen the perception of symptoms.

At iMsk & Spine Group, listening and responding to patient’s experiences and talking like real people is what we do. It’s why so many patients on Long Island prefer the personal care of our physicians and staff.

Expertise is only developed through exposure to expertise.

Knowing this is what compels Dr. Mike Nicolosi of The IMSK & Spine Group to share his own expertise with new generations of pain care physicians.

Here, Dr. Nicolosi educates residents at Nassau University Medical Center Pain Medicine & Rehabilitation, giving instruction on Intracept, which is an advanced spinal procedure.

Bringing humanity to practice is achieved at the point of instruction. It’s a standard central to Dr. Nicolosi’s work, and among all the physicians and staff at The iMsk & Spine Group.

Pain is a part of life. There are no awards for ignoring it or trying to “tough it out.” In fact, by owning up to it and just saying, yes, it hurts, you Brin yourself close to the strength you need to address it.

Too often we want to “get back to normal,” but sometimes we just won’t be able to. Change is a part of life, after all, and some changes we have to accommodate. When dealing with chronic pain, we often have to live by these limitations. Embrace change; it will make working with your challenges easier.

Trying to describe what we’re going through can be challenging. Sometimes it takes the weirdest analogies to help people get it. Keep talking about your pain; keep trying to find ways to explain it. There is no right way to represent it, as long as it make sense to you.

So much to do, so much to do! Dealing with pain can feel like an endless list of to-do’s, and it becomes a source of stress unto itself. Try not to think of the “big list’ all the time; try to focus only on the task in front of you, and it will help you manage things with a lot less consternation.

It’s very hard to communicate exactly how pain feels for an individual. If others haven’t experienced something similar, they may not “get it,” and even doubt what you are experiencing. DO not waste too much time with those people who need “convincing.” Your pain is real. Address it that way.
