What Is Pain Management?

Pain management is a specialized approach to diagnosing, treating, and relieving pain caused by illness, injury, or long-term conditions. It’s not just about masking pain—it’s about addressing the root cause and developing strategies to minimize its impact on your life.

At Ma Kao Rehabilitation, our team—including Dr. Daniel Kao and Dr. Keyan Ma—offers a wide range of non-surgical, evidence-based therapies to help patients reduce pain and restore function.

Common Conditions We Treat

Pain can stem from many different sources. Some of the most common conditions we manage include:

• Neck and back pain
• Joint pain (knees, hips, shoulders)
• Sciatica and nerve pain
• Muscle tension and spasms
• Sports and work-related injuries
• Post-surgical discomfort
• Arthritis and degenerative joint conditions
• Headaches and migraines

Whether your pain is sharp, dull, constant, or comes and goes, we can create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique situation.

Our Approach to Pain Relief

Every patient’s experience with pain is different. That’s why Dr. Kao and Dr. Ma take a holistic, hands-on approach to treatment. Your care may include:

• Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve range of motion
• Manual therapy and joint mobilization
• Trigger point therapy to reduce muscle knots and tension
• Acupuncture or cupping for natural pain relief
• Electrical stimulation (TENS) to interrupt pain signals
• Stretching and posture correction techniques
• Lifestyle and ergonomic counseling to prevent future flare-ups

Our goal is always to minimize discomfort, restore movement, and help you return to doing what you love—whether that’s walking, working, or playing with your kids.
