ENJOY LIFE!

Remember when having fun was effortless?

INTERVENTIONAL PAIN THERAPY

Precisely targeted pain procedures help patients get back to enjoying life.

 

 

Pain changes lives.  Whether it's a pulled muscle or a herniated disc, pain takes away from you the time that you would otherwise spend with your family, having fun, or just to do your job. 

At PainCare, we've put the best together in the heart of Orange County.  From the moment the pain starts, there is no better place to turn, to help you get back to life again.

Interventional Pain Management is the discipline of medicine devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of pain disorders principally with interventional techniques in conjunction with other modalities of treatment.

From nerve blocks to nucleoplasty, PainCare's Board Certified Pain Specialists perform interventional procedures to help patients find relief.  

"What we want to know is how a patient's pain affects his life."

BEATING LOWER BACK PAIN - WITHOUT SURGERY

Study Shows That Patients Get Same Benefits Regardless of Whether or Not They Choose the Knife - By C. J. KARALAKULASINGAM, ABC Medical News

Nov. 22, 2006 - Patients suffering from lower back pain could get the same benefits in pain relief and function from nonsurgical treatment as from back surgery, a new study shows.

Low back pain is one of the most common complaints doctors hear from their patients, but choosing the best treatment has long been a mystery. New research in The Journal of the American Medical Association today suggests that patients who opt for nonsurgical treatments can get the same benefits in pain reduction and function in the long term as those who chose surgery.

"This confirms what we already know about [back pain]," says Dr. William Richardson, an orthopedic surgeon at Duke University Medical Center. "Patients get better quicker with surgery, but long-term results are no different."
