Pain Management Specialties and Services

When pain lasts for a long period of time—for at least three months—it is considered chronic pain. This includes pain that you feel regularly, but not necessarily all the time. Chronic pain may be a result of a lingering injury or disease. Our multidisciplinary team involves doctors and clinicians from a number of specialties, including anesthesiology, physical medicine, rehabilitation, and physical and occupational therapy. 


 

Precision Spinal Injections

Nerve blocks and epidural injections to temporarily your pain.

Physical Therapy

Our therapists can provide musculoskeletal evaluation and treatment to address the root cause of your pain.

Minimally Invasive Ablation Therapy

Cooled radiofrequency ablation (also Cooled RF or CRF), directly targets the sensory nerves causing pain. The procedure takes less than an hour, and patients resume normal activities within a few days.

Nerve and Spinal Cord Stimulation

A treatment for chronic pain, we use a medical device to send mild electrical currents to disrupt the pain messages traveling in your body to your brain. These currents help block the pain.

Facet Joint Injections

Anesthetics or steroids are injected into the facet joint (in between the vertebrae) to provide temporary pain relief.

Trigger Point Injections

Medication can be injected into irritable areas of muscle to reduce pain and improve muscle function.

Pain Management for Cancer

For patients with cancer our providers offer intrathecal infusion pumps, kyphoplasty, and spine tumor ablation to help improve pain symptoms related to cancer treatment.

Pain Psychology

Biofeedback and hypnosis are offered for patients who need psychological support.
