I didn’t even ask if she was a doctor, not a very comforting personality at all, I didn’t like her right off the start, I’ll have to go to someone else to see if I can get some help with pain

@sunshine37 I see a Nurse Practioner who has a Pain Management specialty. There is a doctor at the clinic who is an Osteopath. So it depends on who is doing this healing work where you live.

Mine is Institute of Pain and Rehabilitation. You should be able to Google pain management clinics or call your insurance or Medicare for a list. I call and get them to email me a list of providers for different areas, dental, cardiologist, neurologist, eye, etc that are in network. Most if the time mine I have been a patient of for years is in network. I then print them of to refer to.

I only know them as Pain Management Doctors.

I couldn't be seen by regular "pain management" doctors because of my Chronic Disease, no one was comfortable taking me on. I had to look up Outpatient Pallatative Care. But it also depends on your kind/location of pain.
