Our story
Living with pain can color your experience of life, and make it hard to enjoy time at work, with friends and family, or in the community. Pain management is an area of medical specialty that seeks ways of reducing pain, and Teddrick Dunson, MD, is board-certified in pain medicine and the primary caregiver at Thrive Pain Management in Irving, Texas.
Pain management is an area of medical practice focused on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating the wide spectrum of types of pain. That includes chronic pain, acute pain, cancer pain, and pain stemming from a combination of the above.
Some of the different sources of pain include:
No matter what is causing your pain, there is a treatment path that can help you manage pain and live your best possible life.
Dr. Dunson at Thrive Pain Management is a firm believer that no one is more qualified to play a role in treating your pain than you. Pain can be a very subjective experience, and how pain affects you as an individual is far more important than where your pain falls on any rating scale.
Patient education is a central part of Dr. Dunson’s approach. From your initial visit, you work in partnership with him to clarify the type and extent of your pain.
Once a diagnosis is reached, Dr. Dunson works with you to explore treatment options. No matter how effective a treatment might be, lifestyle habits can mar those effects and complicate pain care. Dr. Dunson helps you find meaningful changes that can boost your overall health and wellness, and, in turn, improve your pain management.
No two people share the exact same experience with pain, which is why customized treatment is so important. Medications might be part of your journey, but Dr. Dunson makes every effort to find a treatment path that does not rely on pharmaceuticals.
While drug therapy is sometimes the best possible approach, many men and women can find lasting relief through other measures. Prescription medication can take a toll on your body, and sometimes carries a risk of addiction.
Additional treatments include:
Your treatment path is shaped to meet your current needs. That plan may be adjusted as you move forward, depending on how your body responds to treatment. The process begins with a phone call to Thrive Pain Management or a few moments on the online scheduling page.
Schedule an appointment with Dr. Dunson online or by phone today to discuss your options for pain management care.
