An individual treatment plan is designed for each patient, depending on the patient’s problem and preferences.
We treat patients with a variety of chronic pain problems including:
- neck and back pain from spinal disorders, herniated disks, and orteoporosis
- myofascial pain
- chronic regional pain syndrome
- post-herpetic neuralgia
- intractable cancer pain
- post-operative pain that remains unresolved
- unresolved migraine
Medical Pain Management
There are several options for medical pain management in treating chronic pain. Your pain specialist will talk with you about what those options are, their benefits and drawbacks, given your individual situation. We may also recommend referrals for physical therapy or aqua therapy, which can be very effective tools for pain management. Appropriate exercise done correctly can help build tolerance and reduce pain over time. TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) therapy is another treatment modality that has proven effective in helping certain patients manage their pain.
Interventional Approaches
There are many different interventional approaches to pain management. Each intervention has its own specific purpose, associated risks, and benefits. Your doctor will recommend a course of treatment depending on your individual assessment.
what our patients are saying
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
