Frequently Asked Questions About Types of Pain

What types of pain does Dr. Turok specialize in treating?

Dr. Turok specializes in a wide range of pain conditions, including back and neck pain, nerve pain, neuropathy, headache and migraine, sciatica, arthritis, and complex regional pain syndrome. As a dual board-certified neurologist and interventional pain management specialist, he is uniquely qualified to treat both neurological and musculoskeletal sources of pain.

How is chronic pain different from acute pain?

Acute pain is a short-term response to an injury or illness and typically resolves as the underlying cause heals. Chronic pain persists beyond the normal healing period — often three months or longer — and may continue even when no obvious tissue damage remains. Chronic pain frequently requires specialized management beyond standard medications, which is where a practice like Connecticut Pain Solutions provides significant value.

Can nerve pain be treated without surgery?

In many cases, yes. At Connecticut Pain Solutions, we offer a range of non-surgical interventional treatments for nerve pain, including nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, and PRP therapy. Dr. Turok’s goal is always to help you avoid surgery through minimally invasive techniques whenever possible.

What is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)?

CRPS is a chronic pain condition that typically develops after an injury, surgery, stroke, or heart attack. It is characterized by prolonged, severe pain that is out of proportion to the initial injury, often accompanied by changes in skin color, temperature, or swelling. Dr. Turok has experience diagnosing and treating CRPS using targeted interventional approaches.

What diagnostic tests are used to evaluate pain at Connecticut Pain Solutions?

Dr. Turok uses a combination of physical examination, medical history review, and advanced diagnostic testing including EMG, nerve conduction studies (NCS), EEG, and VNG testing. Imaging studies such as X-ray and MRI results from your referring providers are also incorporated into the evaluation.

Does Connecticut Pain Solutions treat cancer-related pain?

Yes. Dr. Turok offers specialized pain management for oncology patients, including nerve blocks, interventional procedures, and carefully managed pharmacological therapies designed to improve quality of life and comfort during cancer treatment or recovery.
