What Is Surgical Management of Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain can be overwhelming and debilitating. Non-surgical treatments, including medicine, are often the most recommended treatment for pain. However, there may come a time when medicine no longer offers relief and can even make matters worse with unwanted side effects. If this is the case for you, Dr. Anderson may recommend surgery management for chronic pain after careful evaluation and perform stereotactic radiotherapy, deep brain stimulation, microvascular decompression, radiofrequency ablation (rhizotomy), or other surgeries with proven positive outcomes.

Chronic pain can be challenging to manage, and the proper treatment or surgery is different for every patient. Dr. Brian Anderson uses a personalized approach that integrates noninvasive, nonopioid options pre and post-operatively. As a result, you will experience less pain, improved quality of life, and less dependence on medications.

Common Conditions Causing Chronic Back & Neck Pain?

Dr. Anderson utilizes a multi-modal approach to pain management that focuses on all components responsible for your pain. Your chronic pain treatment plan would include procedures that are unique to your situation. The most common types of surgical treatments have been developed for pain caused by spinal stenosis; degenerative joint disease and cancer are the most common.
