Pain Management / Physiatry
41 EDS specialists in this category
Pain management specialists and physiatrists develop multimodal pain plans for EDS patients, combining medication management, injections, and rehabilitation strategies tailored to hypermobile joints. Seek providers who understand that EDS pain is often neuropathic and centralized, not purely musculoskeletal — opioid-only approaches are rarely effective long-term. Effective EDS pain management often combines low-dose naltrexone, nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and physical therapy. Patients with EDS may also have atypical responses to local anesthetics, which experienced pain specialists will account for.
Pain Management / Physiatry specialists are most concentrated in Illinois (4), Maryland (4), New York (4).

About Pain Management / Physiatry
Pain in EDS isn't just from joints popping out — it involves nerve sensitivity, central nervous system changes, and muscle fatigue from compensating for loose ligaments. A pain specialist who understands EDS recognizes that your pain is real and complex, and will build a treatment plan that addresses multiple pain sources rather than relying on a single approach.
What to Expect
The specialist will ask you to describe your pain in detail — location, type (sharp, burning, aching), timing, and what makes it better or worse. They may perform a physical exam and review any prior imaging. Treatment discussions will likely cover several options, potentially including injections, medications, and physical therapy working together. Be honest about what you've already tried and what hasn't worked.
