Admission to the Pain Center in the outpatient clinic at Community First Medical Center can come from your primary care physician, or through a self-referral.

The interdisciplinary medical team uses a wide range of treatment strategies to help overcome acute or chronic pain conditions, including:

• Nerve blocks to interrupt sensory pathways to prevent pain from reaching the brain.

• Steroid injections to provide relief from symptoms by reducing swelling and inflammation.

• Radiofrequency treatments to prevent pain signals from reaching the brain through interruption of the pain fibers in peripheral nerves.

• Implantable devices that deliver medications or mild electrical currents directly to the source to stop the sensation of pain.

An individualized treatment plan is created for each patient at the Pain Center. The medical team recognizes that a pain disorder can also take an emotional and physical toll on the family and loved ones of a patient in suffering.

Creating a holistic, compassionate and goal-orientated treatment strategy requires the input of the patient, as well as their family, or caregiver. The medical team develops a treatment plan to improve everyone’s quality of life, and return patients to a comfortable lifestyle.

Both men and women can suffer from several conditions that affect the pelvic organs or region. These disorders create burdens that reduce your mobility and quality of life.

To help patients reclaim their comfort, a multidisciplinary team including board-certified gynecologists, urologists, gastroenterologists, anesthesiologists, and psychologists provide integrated care and individualized therapy.

The skilled team of specialists can help patients overcome the health challenges of incontinence, dysfunction, prolapse and other disorders. Schedule an appointment to learn more about an individualized treatment plan to better manage the challenges of pelvic pain.
