What Del City Pain Management Really Means

Modern pain management through your Del City doctor is about more than treating a symptom. At Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centers, we review your full history to determine whether your pain stems from a single injury or a series of events. Del City pain management goes beyond symptom management. We use a range of diagnostic and treatment tools to help find the true cause, such as:

• Evidence-based diagnostics
• Imaging
• Targeted treatments

We take a closer look at your joints, nerves, spine, and soft tissue to pinpoint the origin of the pain. Once the source is identified, we develop a pain treatment plan for you.

Masking Pain vs. Treating the Source

Many patients come to us after years of temporary solutions that focused on masking symptoms, without ever understanding or resolving the cause of their pain. While this is a short-term solution, if you want long-term improvement, it’s important to understand what is being treated and why.

This is why Dr. Blake Christensen completed a fellowship in interventional pain management, which emphasizes identifying and treating the source. Examples of possible sources include:

• Irritated nerves
• Inflamed joints
• Damaged discs
• Weakened bones

When your Del City pain management doctor targets the source, you have a better chance of lasting relief.

Why Del City Patients Prefer Interventional Care Over Long-Term Medication

Medication can be helpful when you’re treating a symptom, but it rarely addresses the source of your pain. Some patients find that, over time, they may need a higher dose, and that some medication has negative side effects. Interventional pain management treatments are designed to:

• Target the anatomical cause of pain
• Reduce the need for long-term medication
• Offer clearer, longer-lasting results
• Support better mobility and quality of life

Many patients like you don’t want temporary relief and seek care that supports their daily activities, independence, and long-term comfort.

Common Pain Conditions Treated in Del City

Chronic pain affects Del City residents in a variety of different ways and creeps into daily activities. While you might feel pain in one area, the source may originate in the spine, joints, nerves, or surrounding muscles. Some of the more common pain conditions we treat include:

• Back pain

• Sciatica and nerve pain
• Joint pain (knee, hip, shoulder) Arthritis
• Disc injuries (herniated, bulging, degenerative disc disease)

Advanced Treatment Options Available to Del City Patients

• Epidural steroid injections
• Radiofrequency ablation
• Facet and joint injections
• Spinal cord stimulation
• Nerve blocks

What to Expect at Your First Pain Management Appointment

Your first pain appointment is where Dr. Blake Christensen gets to know you and begins identifying next steps right away. Once the cause of your pain is better understood, we review appropriate treatment options with you.

We take time to set clear expectations because we know how disruptive ongoing pain can be. Once we have a better idea of the cause of your pain, we offer treatment choices. As care progresses, treatment approaches can be adjusted based on your response and needs. This means you leave your first visit with clarity and a clear direction forward.

Your follow-up appointments remain thorough and may include additional physical exams to evaluate treatment effectiveness. These visits are more collaborative and focus on progress and any adjustments needed.
