Pain Medicine

SOMA Orthopedics understands that ongoing pain can cause frustration, fear, anger, depression, and anxiety. Chronic pain can often be successfully managed to improve a patient’s quality of life through a combination of medication management, interventional techniques, cognitive behavioral health, and alternative medicine.

Range of disorders treated include:

• Spine disorders: back and neck pain, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, post surgical syndromes, and tumors.
• Pain due to arthritis.
• Complex regional pain syndrome (also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy or RSD)
• Disorders of the nervous system, including shingles, and peripheral nerve injuries
• Cancer pain
• Intractable spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries.

Numerous interventional techniques are used to control pain and diagnose disorders, including epidurals, injections and other drug delivery systems, nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation, as well as surgical procedures.
