Pain Management Jobs
Departmental Scope of Services
Pain Management has nine patient care cubicles and one procedure room. We treat and diagnose multiple pain-related symptoms and disorders, offering a full range of innovative and progressive treatments. We are staffed by specially trained physicians, nursing personnel and technicians. We also perform electroconvulsive therapy treatments for clinically depressed patients.
Types of Patients Served
The Pain Management staff cares for both inpatients and outpatients who are experiencing pain or clinical depression. Our patients are referred from psychiatrists, primary care physicians and orthopaedic physicians and/or surgeons who feel their patients would benefit from either a pain management intervention or an ECT treatment. We treat chronic patients as well as newly diagnosed patients in an effort to alleviate their pain or depression and allow them to resume a more comfortable lifestyle.
