Patient Services
Huntington Center for Pain Treatment

A Multidisciplinary Comprehensive Treatment Center for Chronic Pain and Cancer Pain

The Huntington Center for Pain Treatment is a unique, multidisciplinary program that offers the diagnosis and treatment of chronic benign pain, as well as cancer related pain.  The program's comprehensive team of professionals includes anesthesiologists, psychologists, and physical therapists along with consultants in neurology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, physical rehabilitation, and oncology.  Depending on the specific type of pain, an individualized treatment program is developed and specific medical objectives are pursued to help patients achieve a more productive, comfortable lifestyle. Cost-effective treatments are coordinated closely with the referring professional, emphasizing restoration of function, patient education, and behavior modification.  The majority of procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. Most procedures do not involve surgery and are performed as X-ray guided injections with local anesthesia and sedation. Each patient's individual needs are taken into careful consideration before deciding upon a treatment plan.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Management Services
Patients are evaluated by a physician with board certification in anesthesiology and pain management. Our staff is complemented by a psychologist, physical and occupational therapists, and full-time nursing personnel.


Opioid and Nonopioid Drug Therapy

Diagnostic or Therapeutic Nerve Blocks

In low back and neck pain, nerve blocks may be indicated to diagnose the anatomic location of individual pain generators. Following identification, therapeutic nerve blocks with radio frequency techniques or neurolytics may be performed to provide long-lasting relief.

 

Implantable Pain Medication Pumps or Catheters
These techniques provide for the delivery of the highest concentration of medication directly to the painful areas. They reduce medication side effects, allowing for early rehabilitation and often prevent the need for hospitalization. They are highly effective for cancer pain.

Spinal Cord Stimulation Treatment
Spinal cord stimulation treatment can be effective in patients with neuropathic pain including phantom limb pain, peripheral vascular disease, angina, diabetic neuropathy, and neuralgia. New advances in interventional techniques are effective in failed back patients.

Intensive Pain Rehabilitation Program
Physical therapy is aimed at reducing pain and increasing physical function.
