Pain Management

This center at the neurological institute specializes in non-surgical methods of addressing backache, neck pain and headache. The Pain Management Center conducted the first clinical trials with IDET (intradiscal electrothermal therapy), a technique that is less costly than surgical fusion and promotes a rapid recovery.

The physicians and staff of the Pain Management Center work closely with patients to develop a comprehensive plan to reduce or eliminate chronic pain. The Center also assists neurosurgeons by using nerve blocks to isolate specific nerves involved in causing pain.The Center also assists neurosurgeons by using nerve blocks to isolate specific nerves involved in causing pain.
