When the pain stops responding to Ibuprofen, Tylenol and even opioids, cancer pain treatments will include the myriad of interventions already featured in our treatment section including:
-
- Medication Management
- Implanted pain pumps
- Nerve block therapies
- Physical therapy
- Acupuncture and auriculotherapy
- Massage therapy
- Relaxation techniques and guided imagery
- Chiropractic treatment
Even if pain is controlled with oral medications, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy can exacerbate pain by disrupting the nervous system. Patients can be seen on the same day as well as before or after chemo/radiation therapy for interventional treatments to reduce exacerbation of pain and fight cancer with dignity!
