Receiving medical treatment for cancer can be a physically, emotionally, and spiritually daunting task for patients and family members. The pain associated with a malignancy, as well as to some of the treatments, is often one of the more under-treated and poorly recognized problems.

 

The Southern California Pain & Wellness Center is committed to providing the very best services for treating cancer pain. This may include offering our expertise in managing different types of  medications, as well as coordinating ancillary services with home health nurses, hospitals and hospice organizations.

 

In some difficult cases, special interventional procedures / treatments are required due to a lack of efficacy or untoward side effects from traditional pain medications. This may include the use of implantable spinal catheters and infusion pumps.

 

Whether such technologically advanced therapies are needed or not, Southern California Pain & Wellness Center physicians and staff will remain attentive and available to the needs of the patients and their loved ones. We will coordinate our care with the care provided by the patient's team of oncologists, surgeons, and nurses.
