Pain treatment is complex and can cause more harm than good if it is not
provided by a pain medicine specialist. Physician anesthesiologists
complete four years of medical school, four years of training in
anesthesiology and pain medicine, and an additional year of training to
become experts in treating chronic pain. This expertise is essential to
completing a comprehensive evaluation and making a diagnosis to guide
treatment. If interventional therapies are considered, real expertise is
critical since the spine and nerves that register pain are delicate and
everyone’s anatomy may be different. In addition, many of the
medications used to treat pain are strong or may interact with other
medications and can be harmful if not administered by a physician with
appropriate training.
