All patients are evaluated for their pain management needs with a variety of diagnostic tools, whether for benign or malignant pain. The adequacy of medication management for chronic and acute pain is assessed for each patient as needed. The procedures for the treatment of the syndromes listed below are done either in our procedure rooms with full capacity for fluoroscopic imaging, cardiovascular monitoring and the option of conscious sedation. There is also the ability to utilize CT imaging for select procedures if indicated.

The treatment of chronic pain includes evaluation in conjunction with non-invasive studies, including:

• Diagnostic local anesthetic blocks.
• Therapeutic local anesthetic blocks.
• Therapeutic blocks using steroids.
• Neurolytic injections/neuroablative procedures.
• Physical therapy with the application of peripheral stimulation procedures.
• Other Adjunctive Therapy and referral for complimentary medicine, chiropractic management and acupuncture.
• Botox.

The Pain Clinic is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 am until 4 pm. In order to be seen at Faulkner Hospital's Pain Clinic, you will need a referral from a physician. As soon as we have a referral, we will call to arrange an appointment.
