Interventional Pain Medicine, Anesthesiology

410 Saybrook Road, Middletown, CT

spinal pain, neuropathic pain

Dr. Dwight Ligham is a specialist in anesthesiology and interventional pain medicine. He works in New Haven, CT, Norwich, CT, and Middletown, CT. He is a graduate of SUNY Upstate Medical University.

"I use the Middletown off-site office. So far Dr. Ligham seems OK, it's his administrative staff that I have issue with. First, you can't call to make an apt...you have to go through email. Second, their web-site is not up to date and the admin asst. they have for him isn't even there anymore. Third, if you need to use a lab with them, make sure they send the specimen to a par-lab. Even though he participates with my insurance, I've been billed over $1000 in lab tests because the lab they use does not participate. Luckily, I didn't have to pay it, my insurance paid it at the Par rate as a one-time thing...but still had to pay over $200 OOP for a test that should cost no-where near that much."

What is Pain Medicine?

Pain medicine is a specialty closely related to, but separate from, anesthesiology. Whereas anesthesiologists typically work to relieve a patient's pain during surgery or another medical procedure, pain medicine specialists work to relieve their patients' pain as they are out living their lives.

Pain medicine specialists treat patients who have acute or chronic pain. The pain may be a symptom of their problem (e.g. they are hurting because they were in a car accident), or the pain may be the problem itself (e.g. they are having migraine headaches). The pain specialist's goal is to prevent pain from interfering with a patient's quality of life.

Pain medicine specialists must have a thorough understanding of the physiology of pain, how it is caused, and what effects it has on the body. A good pain medicine specialist is able to evaluate patients who are hurting and who may not always be able to communicate their problems very well. To gain more information about their patients' condition, pain medicine physicians can interpret specialized imaging tests. Using this information, pain medicine specialists must be able to prescribe a balanced treatment plan.

There are several treatments that pain medicine specialists may use to alleviate pain for their patients. They can prescribe medication, perform certain procedures, and refer patients to rehabilitation services. Often they will recommend multiple treatment methods to be used simultaneously. Some of these pain treatments include:

Implantable devices (intrathecal pump, spinal cord stimulator)
Injections (corticosteroids)
Medications (Percocet, Vicodin)
Nerve blocks (anesthetic injected into a nerve)
Physical therapy
Surgery
Alternative medicine therapies, such as biofeedback, acupuncture, and hypnosis

Being in pain takes away your enjoyment of life. It can lead to depression and stop you from engaging in even everyday activities. Because pain can't be seen or tested for, it is sometimes overlooked by others. A pain medicine specialist works to safely restore your quality of life.
