No one should have to suffer with cancer pain

The majority of patients with cancer pain will gain substantial relief from today’s most advanced pain treatments. The challenge for pain management is finding the right treatments for each individual cancer patient.

Cancer patients experience different types of pain. There is often a deep aching body pain that occurs when cancer spreads that may be due to muscle or bone involvement. Then there is neuropathic pain, or nerve pain. It is typically burning, shooting, itching pain. It may shoot down an arm or leg. Each type of pain requires a different treatment approach.

For those patients who don’t get relief from basic medications, Summit Pain Management can offer interventional procedures.

We may infuse medicine directly into the spinal fluid or use injections in and around the spine or by other peripheral nerves. All procedures are performed with fluoroscopic X-ray guidance for greater accuracy.

A compassionate multidisciplinary approach

Healthcare providers should work closely together as a multidisciplinary team to achieve the best possible pain relief for cancer patients. Here at Summit Pain Management, we accomplish this by:

• Working closely with your oncologist to meet individual needs

• Improved quality of end-of-life care
