Lowcountry Pain Medicine Doctor
Pain Medicine & Treatment
Pain is one of the most common medical concerns and is often under-treated. Symptoms such as sciatica, neck pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain frequently interfere with daily life and overall function.
At Lowcountry Spine & Sport, our pain medicine specialists are board certified in the diagnosis and treatment of painful disorders, with a particular focus on spine-related conditions. Treatment options may include:
Radiofrequency Ablation
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Epidural Injections
Facet Joint Injections
Nerve Blocks
In addition to interventional procedures, a variety of medications may be used when appropriate, including acetaminophen (Tylenol), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antidepressants, anti-seizure medications, and opioids.
Because many pain medications carry the risk of side effects, Lowcountry Spine & Sport’s overall philosophy of care emphasizes minimizing long-term medication use and instead we focus on treatments that promote lasting relief—such as physical therapy, behavioral coping strategies, and minimally invasive procedures designed to target the source of pain.
The goal is to help patients manage pain effectively, improve mobility, and restore quality of life through a comprehensive, individualized approach.
