What Is an Integrated Approach? What Are the Benefits of an Integrated Approach?
When you’ve suffered an injury, or are experiencing chronic or persistent pain, you want relief. When you’re looking for a medical professional to treat your condition, it’s critical to find someone who offers an integrated approach to injury and pain management. What does that mean? Why is it important to take an integrated approach to the treatment of injury and pain?
What Does It Mean To Take an Integrated Approach?
Simply put, there are a number of ways to treat injury and pain. Unfortunately, many medical professionals, particularly those with less experience treating traumatic injury or chronic pain, use a single treatment option, such as medication or surgery, rather than taking a multidisciplinary approach. With an integrated approach, your primary care provider works with other professionals, including physical therapists, chiropractors, and even psychologists, to create and implement a comprehensive plan for your recovery.
What Are the Benefits of an Integrated Approach?
With an integrated approach, each medical professional can contribute to creating a unique plan tailored to your injury and your needs. An integrated approach can minimize reliance on pharmaceutical products to ease your suffering. Furthermore, an integrated approach focuses on both short-term and long-term improvements, often helping you avoid complications and recurring injuries.
What Are the Common Components of an Integrated Approach to Injury and Pain Management?
With an integrated approach, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs may be used for some short-term relief, but they are not a long-term solution. Depending on the nature of your injury, physical therapy can be a part of an integrated approach, helping rebuild strength, improve flexibility and mobility, and reduce swelling. Chiropractic care also can help reduce pain and stiffness, and psychological counseling can help keep you focused on your recovery.
