Wade Martin

Board Certified, Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain Medicine Comprehensive Pain Management – What do we do? Initial Evaluation Each new patient’s pain is evaluated with a thorough history and physical exam. We will review relevant lab work and imaging studies such as MRI or X-Ray and may order others if necessary. Ultimately, we will establish a working diagnosis and focus our management plan on improving your quality of life. Medication Management There are a variety of medications that may be helpful to the patient suffering with chronic pain. However, we are also happy to avoid medication altogether if this is what the patient prefers. Injections As a Board Certified Pain Physician, Dr. Martin is trained to perform specialized procedures for pain. We seek to educate our patients on the specifics of each injection, rather than pass each procedure off as merely a “nerve block,” a generic description that in no way educates the patient about his/her care. Even if a patient has had an unsuccessful injection prior to coming to our clinic, Dr. Martin may have an alternative procedure to offer.
