About Down Arror
Pain Management

Our specialists at Tanner Pain Management are anesthesiologists trained in lasting symptom relief.

The types of pain

Everyone experiences pain differently. Some people tolerate it better than others and the treatment that works for you may not work for someone else. Chronic pain can last for weeks or months. Pain may be dull or stabbing, come and go or constant.

Long-lasting pain can affect your mood, your mental health and your relationships with others.

Innovative solutions to chronic pain

Chronic pain is a complex medical problem. Our pain management specialists partner with you, working with referring physicians to develop a comprehensive approach to addressing pain.

Severe, persistent pain can result from cancer or cancer treatment as well as trauma or treatment for other conditions. We specialize in therapies and lifestyle changes that can relieve chronic or severe pain, including:

  • Facet blocks
  • Medication evaluation and recommendation
  • Physical therapy referrals
  • Radio frequency ablation
  • Selective nerve root blocks
  • Spinal and epidural injections
  • Spinal cord stimulation
  • Trigger point injections
