What Is Pain Management and How Does It Function?
Pain management is a structured clinical discipline built around assessing and reducing pain in all its forms.

The primary aim is not to cover up discomfort — it is to bring you back to meaningful activity.
In practice, pain management works by targeting the source of pain signals and the pathways that carry them.
