Pain and Spine
Wellstar offers a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pain and spinal disorders. Our goal is to improve a patient’s quality of life by enhancing their ability to function and perform their normal daily activities without severe pain.
Because pain is complicated and sometimes requires experts from a variety of disciplines to address and manage its cause, our pain medicine physicians work with other providers, such as neurosurgeons and physical therapists, when necessary to offer the integrated approach to care patients need.
A few examples of the conditions we treat are:
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
- Degenerative diseases of intervertebral discs
- Migraines
- Chronic pain syndrome
- Cancer pain
- Back and neck pain
