Relief from your Cancer Pain
Depending on your cancer diagnosis, you may experience pain related to your cancer or your treatment. This pain may be mild, moderate or severe, and it may be located in an organ, or an entire organ system. Our customized treatment plan will allow you to be more active in your life, doing what personally brings you joy.
Pain is personal. The way you treat it should be personal, too.
Are you ready to get personal about pain relief? Research shows the more you know about pain and the more active and positive you are in treatment, the more effective the treatment will be.
Our cancer pain specialists tailor a custom management plan using a variety of tools to provide you with safe, long-term relief from your pain including acupuncture, cognitive behavioral therapy, pain medications with a focus on minimizing opioids, and various interventions.
Your cancer pain specialist may treat for:
- Pain radiating into the hands or feet from spine disease with epidural steroid injection.
- Headaches, neck pain or pain due to arthritis of the spine with facet joint blocks and radiofrequency ablation.
- Chronic pain in various joints of the body with steroid injections and/or peripheral nerve blocks/ablation.
- Visceral pain due to gastrointestinal, gynecologic or genitourinary cancer with sympathetic nerve blocks/ablation or nerve destruction.
- Chronic nerve pain involving the arms, legs, back and face with peripheral nerve or spinal cord stimulators.
- Vertebral compression fractures or painful metastatic spine disease with vertebral augmentation and medical cement placement.
- Intractable pain in multiple areas of the body with a intrathecal pump, a device that delivers pain medications to the spine directly.
