Pain management is a multi-disciplinary approach to managing your pain. If you experience chronic pain, you may benefit from a combination of physical therapy, therapeutic modalities, prescription medication, and/or interventional pain management consisting of steroid injections.
To make it easy, we offer all of these pain management options at Advanced Orthopaedic Centers. To diagnose the source of your pain, our pain management specialist will assess your condition and develop a treatment plan targeting the source of the discomfort.
Advanced Orthopaedic Center physicians have taken time to understand and specialize in cutting-edge pain management treatments.
