Pain Management
Southwest General Medical Group, Inc. – Pain Management specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of pain. This includes
both acute and chronic pain from a variety of illnesses or injuries, such
as cancer, surgery, metabolic disorders, immune system disorders, musculoskeletal
disorders, nerve damage and more.
Using their skill and experience, our physicians provide a broad range
of treatments to minimize pain, improve function and enhance a person’s
quality of life. Treatment techniques may range from use of appropriate
medications to nerve blocks, spinal injections and other interventional
procedures. Additionally, we support a multidisciplinary approach to care
and can coordinate other services as needed--such as physical and psychological
therapy--to provide a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan for patients.
