If you’re in pain, we can help you feel better

Many people suffer occasional aches and pains. But if your pain lasts for more than three months and becomes intolerable, you may be one of millions of Americans who suffer from chronic pain. This disorder not only causes physical distress, but it also can result in mental and emotional problems such as depression and anxiety.

Chronic pain can affect your entire life, causing isolation and inactivity. Careers, family relationships and even routine daily activities can be affected, making it nearly impossible to function normally.

The skilled professionals at Carroll Hospital Center's Advanced Pain Management Center can develop a customized treatment plan that can help you get relief and improve your life. Our specially trained pain management physicians develop treatment plans based on each patient's needs, and may work with other health professionals such as primary care physicians, physical therapists, orthopaedic surgeons, physiatrists and neurologists. Patients are referred to a pain management specialist by their primary care doctor, orthopaedic physician or rehab specialist.
