We also treat neuropathic pain disorders such as peripheral nerve injuries, peripheral neuropathies, and complex regional pain syndrome. We also provide access to a comprehensive team of supporting physicians: neurosurgeons and pain management specialists. We work closely with area neurologists, neuro-imaging specialists, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and psychologists to coordinate individual care needs.
