Pain is one of the most prevalent medical problems in today's society. Unfortunately, based on recent studies; it is also one of the most
undertreated medical complaints.
Pain Care Providers' goal is to present the best in pain management to our patients. We strive to offer treatment plans that control pain and
improve function as well as quality of life. You are not alone. We are here to help.
Our physicians have completed specific ACGME accredited fellowships in Pain Management, and are uniquely qualified to provide the safest,
most innovative, and most effective treatment modalities in the management of pain related symptoms.
We combine traditional treatments with the latest interventional pain management techniques including various minimally invasive injectional
modalities, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulator implants, intrathecal drug delivery implants, and percutaneous disc
decompressions.
