Comprehensive Pain Management for Acute, Chronic & Cancer-Related Pain
Wellstar’s board-certified pain medicine experts help people feel better quickly and safely. Each person we care for is different, so we work to find non-surgical solutions that are right for you. Our non-invasive and minimally invasive treatment options include injection therapies, implantable pain management devices or rehabilitation. We don’t prescribe or manage pain medication.
Collaborative care
Wellstar’s board-certified pain management physicians follow a multidisciplinary approach, combining therapies and disciplines. We work closely with physical therapists and chiropractors to offer comprehensive pain management services. If we find you are a candidate for spine surgery, we will refer you to an expert neurosurgeon.Our experts have experts
Our physicians from different disciplines work closely and communicate with each other to provide the right level of care for each patient. Our pain medicine experts have a direct connection to Mayo Clinic specialists through our membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network and can request detailed eConsults—electronic second opinions—at no additional cost to the patient.What to Expect
1. Get screened for the right level of care
Our pain management care team created a screening tool and treatment system to help each patient get the right level of care. Most people qualify for non-surgical care—or conservative pain management—which often produces similar outcomes.2. Begin your treatment
Patients meet with a pain physician to discuss the best care plan, which may include rehabilitation, weight loss, massage or interventional pain management. Minimally-invasive treatments—such as nerve blocks—can often provide relief.Conditions We Treat
