Distinctions of Southwest Spine and Pain Center

Did you know our physicians have years of pain management experience and world-class fellowship training from institutions like Harvard and Mayo Clinic? Or, did you know that all five physicians at Southwest Spine and Pain Center provide optimal pain care results using a wide variety of injection therapies, minimally invasive surgeries, management of pain medications, and by coordinating physical therapy and advanced imaging?

Well if you didn’t know, now you do, and there’s plenty more information about this team of highly qualified individuals! Read more to see why Southwest Spine and Pain Center is one of the leading pain management facilities in the southwest.

When it comes to pain management, the team values a comprehensive approach. The field of medicine is not “one-size-fits-all.” Every patient is different and every patient may require a different therapy or technique. Because of this, the doctors categorize their minimally invasive procedures based on level of pain. “Basic” pain interventions include trigger point injections, epidural injections and occipital nerve blocks.

“Intermediate” pain interventions may include nerve blocks, facet joint injections and/or an epidural blood patch. “Advanced” pain interventions may include spinal cord stimulation, kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty, or a radiofrequency ablation. Southwest Spine and Pain Center also provides an interactive treatment viewer to review pain management options. You can review this service in the “Treatments” section of the website! 

The team of physicians has also made accessing quality patient care, seamless. Patients can schedule same day appointments at one of our four convenient locations. Our facilities are located in St. George, Cedar City, Richfield and Logan, Utah. You can check out the exact hours and locations, here: http://southwestspineandpain.com/locations
