by The Woodlands, TX – For many, pain is a part of life that they can overcome with patience and grit, while others rely on medications, therapies, and occasional surgery. However, other people find relief with opioid medications, resulting in a public health crisis with devastating consequences like death due to overdoses and misuse/addiction.
Dr. Jessen Mukalel, of the Pain MD Houston, is an interventional pain medicine specialist whose practice focuses on avoiding the long-term prescription of opioids. Instead, he is dedicated to identifying treatment solutions that address the underlying causes of pain. Everyone who walks into Pain MD Houston receives a warm welcome, encouraging them to open up about their pain story, past concerns, and future health goals. Dr. Mukalel values active patient engagement and strives to foster enduring doctor-patient relationships, diligently recommending suitable interventions based on attentive listening and mutual understanding.
Pain occurs when nerve receptors turn on because chemical changes within the body indicate tissue damage or because of inflammation, illness, or injury. Some physicians consider pain to be chronic when it lasts one month longer than expected or reoccurs for longer. Chronic pain can be nociceptive or neuropathic based on what causes it, the types of treatments that may relieve it, and what it feels like. No matter the cause, there are risk factors that increase a patient’s chance of getting sick or having a problem. They include aging, lifestyle choices, relationship problems, history of physical/emotional abuse, and health problems like arthritis, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety disorders, or weakened immune systems.
Dr. Mukalel advises patients to make an appointment if their pain has lasted for more than three months without reason, they are feeling down/blue even when participating in enjoyable activities, they can’t sleep because of pain, or they have an illness/injury that healed but still experience pain. The Pain control clinic treats patients with depression, Lyme disease, muscle strain, scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, herniated discs, CRPS/RSD, carpal tunnel syndrome, myofascial pain syndrome, sports injuries, cluster headaches, spinal stenosis, acute pain, and more. Once Dr. Mukalel discovers the root cause of the pain, he recommends nerve blocks, steroid injections, ablations, trigger point injections, shin splints, and other interventional pain management approaches.
Intravenous (IV) ketamine infusion therapy treats neuropathic pain, small-fiber neuropathy, and psychiatric conditions like PTSD, OCD, suicidal ideation, and depression. Pain MD Houston administers ketamine to block pain receptors in the brain, resetting some nerve cells and reducing some types of pain more effectively. Dr. Mukalel can use regenerative medicine for traumatic and degenerative conditions using Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), Autologous Bone-Marrow-Derived Cells (BMC), and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to promote the formation of dermal tissues, cartilage, bone, and ligaments/tendons.
Dr. Jessen Mukalel’s dedication to finding solutions to pain syndromes has allowed him to serve in prestigious positions in medical organizations.
