Pain Management Services at Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic
For some people, pain can become an overwhelming obstacle that hinders daily activities and diminishes quality of life. But you don’t have to live with this discomfort.
Pain management has emerged as a specialized field, offering a multidisciplinary approach to addressing a wide range of pain.
Drs. Huffman and Ghazal use a variety of advanced approaches for diagnosis and treatment. After identifying the cause of a patient’s ongoing pain with X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, electrical diagnostic studies, interventional diagnostic procedures, and more, they will create an individualized treatment plan that considers the patient’s unique needs.
Each plan is personalized and tailored to suit each patient’s needs. The practice philosophy is to encourage patients to improve their lifestyles to be healthier and more sustainable while providing innovative treatment alternatives. Our doctors provide a variety of treatment options, such as Intrathecal Drug Delivery and Spinal Cord Stimulation system percutaneous trial, implantation, and management. Many interventional procedures are guided and confirmed with fluoroscopy and ultrasound. With these treatments, we attempt to help patients avoid more invasive corrective surgical procedures.
