Pain Treatment


Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal cord stimulation, also referred to as neurostimulation therapy, works to relieve pain by blocking pain signals from reaching the brain. This procedure pulses electrical signals to the area surrounding the spinal cord. It is often used to relieve lower back pain and leg pain.

Implantable Morphine Pumps

Intrathecal pumps are used to administer medication straight into the spinal fluid of patients. Only a small amount of medication is needed since it is delivered directly to the pain receptors. As you may have guessed, an implantable morphine pump is an intrathecal pump which delivers morphine to the patient’s spinal fluid.

The entire arrangement consists only of a pump and a catheter. The pump is the small, battery-powered device which holds and administers the morphine. The catheter is a thin tube which is connected to the pump and inserted into the patient’s spine. Both devices are implanted just beneath the skin.

Using a small needle, the doctor will fill the pump with morphine. The pump will send the morphine through the catheter and into the spinal fluid.






Physical Therapy

The physical therapy department at Advanced Pain Care focuses on the musculoskeletal needs of our patients.

The physicians, physical therapists and occupational therapists all work together with the patient (and his or her family members) to better aid in the recovery process. To begin, the physician will determine the extent of the patient’s injury or condition and, if necessary, the type of surgery required. Based on this initial medical evaluation, the physician may recommend physical and occupational therapy. The rehabilitation program is based upon this initial evaluation. The physician then provides the physical therapist with prescriptions for the patient’s recovery process. The physician will include a diagnosis if possible and provide a recommendations for treatment.

Treatment plans are designed to meet the both the patient’s and the doctor’s specific goals. The physical therapist develops a personalized exercise program for each patient based on their medical condition; the program may include a muscle strengthening...

Psychological Support

The Advanced Pain Care Behavioral Health program includes a brief clinical interview with the patient to determine, specifically, whether or not the patient is experiencing depression, anxiety, fear and avoidance behaviors that may impact the patient's pain and the potential for prescription abuse. This will also assist in determining whether or not the patient understands the purpose of and the appropriate use of medications, and compliance with physician recommendations.
