Pain Medicine is a relatively new medical specialty that provides diagnosis and treatment to patients with all types of pain. The majority of patients referred to pain specialists are those whose pain has been stubborn and has failed to respond to the normal and standard medical treatments offered by their primary care physicians or other specialists (such as, orthopedic surgeons, family practitioners, oncologists, and so on).
Patients with pain related to many common chronic or acute illnesses such as back pain, diabetes and other forms of nerve injuries, cancer related pain, and post-operative pain or pain after an accident, benefit from the expertise that our pain specialists offer.
Our pain management doctors have completed additional special training in the field of Pain Medicine. This extra training provides a highly specialized understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of disorders that cause all types of pain.
