Chronic pain can interfere with your ability to work, sleep and enjoy life. At Virginia Gay Hospital’s Pain Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of pain conditions, so you can take back control of your day-to-day routine. Whether you’re suffering from ongoing back pain or seeking relief from headaches or hip discomfort, our experienced providers are here to help.
How to Treat Back Pain at Home
Mild to moderate back pain is one of the most common complaints among adults, and it can often be managed at home with a few simple strategies. Staying active with low-impact exercises like walking or stretching can help keep muscles flexible and strong. Applying hot or cold packs can reduce inflammation and soothe sore areas. Over-the-counter medications for pain, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may also provide short-term relief. Practicing good posture and avoiding prolonged sitting can further reduce strain on your spine.
However, if your back pain persists for more than a few weeks, worsens over time or interferes with daily life, it’s time to seek professional help. Virginia Gay Hospital’s Pain Clinic offers expert evaluation and personalized treatment plans designed to address the root cause of your pain—not just the symptoms.
Our clinic provides targeted therapies for a wide range of chronic pain issues, including:
Back Injections
When back pain doesn’t respond to conservative treatments, back injections such as epidural steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and provide long-lasting relief. These minimally invasive procedures target the affected area directly for more effective results.
Neck Pain
Whether it is caused by arthritis, injury or poor posture, neck pain can be debilitating. We offer comprehensive care that may include physical therapy referrals, injections for pain or other advanced treatment options tailored to your condition.
Headache Treatment
Chronic headaches and migraines can significantly affect your quality of life. Our providers offer headache treatment strategies ranging from medication management to nerve blocks and lifestyle recommendations to help reduce frequency and severity.
Hip Pain & Hip Injections
If you're experiencing stiffness or discomfort in your hip, our clinic provides targeted hip injections to reduce inflammation and restore mobility. These can be especially helpful for patients with arthritis or bursitis-related hip pain.
Leg Pain
Leg pain may be linked to nerve irritation, joint problems or spinal issues. Our team uses diagnostic tools to uncover the cause and offers customized treatment plans, including injections for pain and physical therapy referrals, to help you move comfortably again.
Medication for Pain
For many patients, medication plays a key role in managing chronic discomfort. Our specialists carefully evaluate your needs and offer safe, evidence-based medication for pain as part of a broader treatment plan that may also include procedures, physical therapy or lifestyle guidance.
