• Persistent lower, middle, or upper back pain
• Pain that worsens with movement or prolonged sitting
• Stiffness and limited range of motion
• Muscle spasms or tenderness
• Can be acute (short-term) or chronic (lasting 12+ weeks)
Joint pain can result from injury, inflammation, or conditions like arthritis and can cause:
• Swelling, stiffness, and tenderness
• Pain in knees, hips, shoulders, or hands
• Reduced mobility or flexibility
• May be associated with autoimmune disorders
• Symptoms can flare with overuse or weather changes
Nerve damage or dysfunction can cause sharp, shooting pain or numbness. You may experience:
• Burning, tingling, or “pins and needles” sensations
• Sensitivity to touch or temperature
• Often linked to diabetes, shingles, or injury
• Pain may persist even after healing
• Can affect any part of the body
Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain and fatigue, often with no clear source. Symptoms can include:
• Widespread muscle pain and stiffness
• Fatigue, brain fog, and sleep disturbances
• Headaches or jaw pain

Medical pain management focuses on reducing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing quality of life. It can use different techniques, including a combination of medication, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes interventional procedures. Whether your pain is due to injury, illness, or unknown causes, effective treatment is important for restoring function and quality of life.
Pain can be caused by many different physical or neurological issues. Acute pain may happen after an injury or surgery, while chronic pain is usually caused by long-term conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or nerve damage. Other causes of chronic discomfort include inflammation, structural problems (like herniated discs), autoimmune disorders, or past trauma.
Emotional stress, poor sleep, and mental health conditions can also worsen how you perceive or experience pain. Since the nervous system plays a role in how pain is processed, even healed injuries can cause ongoing pain if your nerves are particularly sensitive.
Depending on the cause and severity of your pain, symptoms can vary widely. You may experience sharp, dull, burning, throbbing, or radiating pain. Chronic pain typically lasts for months and can affect your mood, energy, and sleep. You may notice:
Your provider will recommend a treatment plan based on the cause of your pain and how much it affects your daily life. For mild to moderate pain, treatment may include over-the-counter NSAIDs, topical creams or patches, gentle stretching or physical therapy, and lifestyle changes such as improved sleep habits or stress reduction. If your pain is moderate to severe, your provider may recommend prescription medications like muscle relaxants, antidepressants, or anticonvulsants. You might also benefit from corticosteroid injections, nerve blocks, or a structured pain management program that combines physical therapy, mental health support like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), medication, and self-care strategies. When pain is chronic or resistant to other treatments, more advanced options such as spinal cord stimulation or referral to a pain specialist or neurologist may be necessary.
If over-the-counter meds aren’t helping, a prescription may help provide stronger relief. Klarity Health’s providers can assess your symptoms and recommend medications based on your condition and health history. Prescription medications for pain management can include:
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
Muscle Relaxants
Antidepressants for Nerve Pain
Anticonvulsants for Nerve Pain
Opioids (Often used only for the short term and when necessary)
