Pain Management
Specialists offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating patients who have chronic or acute pain. A variety of therapeutic treatments are offered to relieve pain and allow people to return to their activities of daily living.
“Many patients think they have to live with pain because it’s a normal part of aging, but that’s not necessarily true,” says Martha Maresco, RN, who is board certified in pain management nursing. “There are so many more things that can be done now to relieve pain and allow people to return to their activities of daily living.”

A diagnostic test called discography helps to pinpoint sources of pain in the back and neck that cannot be detected using MRI scans.
Therapeutic treatments offered at the Pain Center include epidural steroid injections for spine pain, trigger point injections for muscle pain, nerve blocks, joint injections, spinal cord stimulator implantation for pain that is unresponsive to other treatment, and radiofrequency denervation, which is the de-activation of nerves
to painful joints of the back or neck so that they no longer transmit pain messages to the brain.
One of the newer procedures offered at the Pain Center is an ultra-minimally invasive treatment for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis called the mild procedure (minimally invasive lumbar decompression). Special surgical Instruments inserted through a hole the diameter of a pencil are used to remove the tissue or bone that is causing pressure on the nerves.
Phelps’ comprehensive approach to treating patients who have chronic or acute pain is based on successful teamwork. Medical specialists from many disciplines, including pain management, physical medicine, anesthesia, neurosurgery and orthopedic spine surgery, and nurses experienced in pain management work together with the patient’s primary care physician to diagnose and manage the cause of the pain.
