Pain care services

Pain management services can help you get relief from chronic pain. We start by listening to understand you and your pain. Then, we create a care plan that’s right for you. As part of your care plan, we educate you on your condition so you can better understand your pain. Pain management clinic services include diagnostic tests and treatments for neck and back pain and other types of chronic pain due to arthritis, headaches, lupus or cancer treatments. We provide many neuro-anesthesiology treatments, including:

  • Implanted pain pump or spinal cord stimulator consultations and device checks
  • Joint steroid injections
  • Medication therapies, including anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants and antidepressants
  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation therapies
  • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to stop pain signals
  • Selective nerve injections
  • TENS units (can be prescribed but don’t do implantable ones)

If you need more care, your doctor can connect you with a specialist in alternative medicine, chiropractic, behavioral and mental health, palliative care, neurology, physical therapy and other specialties. We also provide senior health and wellness programs to help keep you active and prevent pain symptoms due to a sedentary lifestyle.
