Is There a Cure for Fibromyalgia?: West Texas Pain Institute: Pain Management Physicians
Telehealth services are a great option in times of crisis. Events like pandemics and natural disasters can all make getting to the doctor difficult or even impossible.
Due to the seriousness of the opioid crisis we encourage our chronic pain patients to take advantage of this wonderful resource so your health care isn’t interrupted, medication management or telephone refill(s) of a valid prescription for treatment of chronic pain is an option over Telehealth!
Call our office at 915-313-4443 or request an appointment online at www.westtexaspain.com today.

"One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say." — B.H. McGill

Our team is made up of board-certified healthcare professionals with special training in the management of pain. 👨⚕️ 👩⚕️
Our goal is to help ease your pain so that you can return to a more productive life. Today we achieved this through spinal cord stimulation!
A spinal cord stimulator is an effective treatment for your back pain. It requires a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin wire is placed strategically in your spine. The wire sends mild electrical currents that disrupt the pain messages traveling from your spine to your brain. It’s best for conditions like sciatica and nerve damage that cause severe back pain. #spinalcordstimulation#painrelief#targetedpainrelief #wtpi
Is there anything more satisfying than disrupting pain signals?! Actually, yes! The 5-7 day follow up when our patients tell us all the things they can do after they have their life back! 🙌🏼

Did you know that people over the age of 45 are more likely to suffer from chronic lower back pain?
According to the CDC, people aged 18-44 experience chronic lower back pain far less frequently than people aged 45 and over. The older you become, the more likely you are to suffer from lower back pain. Here are a few culprits for why you might be experiencing back pain:
-Spinal stenosis: the narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, which can put pressure on the spinal nerves
-Ankylosing spondylitis: inflames the joints of the spine, and sometimes the shoulders, hips, ribs, and other areas too
-Fibromyalgia: causes widespread muscle aches
