The Kalamazoo Anesthesiology Pain Clinic treats both acute and chronic pain. Our pain specialists are experts in understanding and managing complex and variable issues that relate to pain, whatever the cause.

Here is a list of many of the conditions that we treat:

Definitions of Types of Pain

• Nerve Block Anesthesia which is injected near the inflamed nerve using fluoroscopy to decrease pain/inflamation.
  
  
• Spinal Cord Stimulation SCS uses a small implanted device to generate tiny electrical pulses that replace the feeling of pain with a tingling or massaging sensation.
  
  
• Implantable Drug Delivery System An implantable drug delivery system provides a way of delivering medication directly to your spinal cord, greatly reducing the amount of narcotics needed for pain relief.
  
  
• Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS or TeNS) is the popularized name for electrical stimulation produced by a portable stimulator and used to treat pain.
  
  
• Injections An epidural steroid injection delivers steroids directly into the epidural space in the spine which reduces inflammation and pain.
  
  
• Radiofrequency Neural Ablation This procedure is done by heating the nerve with an electrode placed near it to destroy the nerve.
  
  
• Intrathecal Catheters The intrathecal catheter creates a pathway for medication flowing from a pump for delivery to the pain site.
