Personalized Care for Acute and Chronic Pain

Living with pain can affect your mobility, sleep, work, and overall quality of life. At Primary Care of Kansas, we provide personalized evaluation and treatment options for patients experiencing acute, persistent, and chronic pain.

Our goal is to understand what is causing your pain and develop an individualized treatment plan focused on improving comfort, mobility, and daily function. When appropriate, our providers may use in-office procedures, injections, therapeutic ultrasound, and other conservative approaches to help manage pain.

Comprehensive Pain Evaluation

Pain can have many different causes, and effective treatment starts with understanding the source. During your visit, we review your symptoms, medical history, physical findings, and functional concerns to help determine an appropriate treatment approach.

We may evaluate pain involving the:

Back and lower back
Neck and shoulders
Hips
Knees
Ankles
Wrists and hands
Muscles and soft tissues
Chest wall and ribs
Head and facial areas

Depending on your symptoms and clinical needs, additional testing, imaging, or specialty referral may be recommended.

Pain Treatment Options

Treatment is individualized based on the cause, severity, location, and duration of your pain.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections may be used to address painful areas within muscles and surrounding soft tissues. Primary Care of Kansas offers several types of trigger point procedures, including:

Musculoskeletal trigger point injections
Occipital trigger point injections
Trapezius trigger point injections
Rib and chest wall trigger point injections
Lumbar spine deep trigger point injections
Hip and lower-extremity trigger point injections
Selected facial trigger point procedures

Ultrasound guidance may be used for certain procedures when clinically appropriate.

Joint Injections

For certain joint conditions, injections may provide an additional treatment option when conservative measures have not provided adequate relief.

Depending on the condition and joint involved, our providers may offer:

Shoulder injections
Hip injections
Knee injections
Ankle injections
Wrist/carpal tunnel injections

For knee osteoarthritis, certain patients may be candidates for steroid or hyaluronic-acid-based injections.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound may be used as part of treatment for certain chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions. Your provider will determine whether this approach is appropriate for your specific condition.
