Chronic Pain Management Services helps you develop the tools to minimize the effects of persistent pain. Chronic pain conditions managed through Pain Management services include:

- Chronic headaches
- Fibromyalgia
- Facial pain
In treating the above, your therapy may include one or more of the following:
- Aquatic therapy
- Supervised exercise
- Relaxation training
- Medication management
- Individual and group counseling
We promote active, self-management of pain. And we encourage you to participate in group-based activities, as we’ve learned this approach to chronic pain management works best. You’ll find our treatment team takes a collaborative approach with you and your doctor.
Interventional Pain Services offer relief and a return to the highest level of functioning for those with pain. Our pain management physicians work to help those with disorders such as:
- Acute and chronic neck and low back pain
- Complex regional pain syndrome, type I and II reflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia
- Acute and chronic shingles (Zoster-associated pain)
- Intractable angina
- Chronic pancreatitis
- Cancer pain
- Chronic headache and facial pain
- Chronic abdominal pain
- Pelvic pain
- Neuropathic pain syndromes
- Failed back syndrome
- Chronic and persistent post-surgical pain
We use several techniques or interventions to help treat people with acute and chronic pain:
- Epidural and joint injections
- Nerve blocks
- Trigger-point injections
- Spinal cord stimulators
- Drug-delivery devices, such as intrathecal pump implant
- Acupuncture
- Botulinum toxin injections for conditions such as headache and muscle spasm
Your doctor should let us know if you are being referred to Pain Management specifically for nerve blocks or other regional anesthetic procedures. Our professional staff may wish to recommend additional procedures at the time of your evaluation or during follow-up care.
Inpatient Consultation Service is available where a physician specialist, clinical nurse specialist, social worker and chaplain meet with you, your family and doctor to assess your needs. Together, they develop a plan that respects your values and personal choices. Interaction with the team keeps your plan updated daily. And your regular doctor will continue to be in charge of your care.
