Ramos Center for Interventional and Functional Pain Medicine

Treating pain is a very complex discipline and the goal(s) vary for each. The primary goal is to reduce or relieve the patient’s pain. Chronic pain can seriously affect a patient’s life, interfere with work, relationships and the ability to pursue sports, hobbies and other types of interests. Patients with chronic pain often develop depression. Interventional Pain Medicine may delay future surgery or decrease pain completely for a limited period of time. In some cases, pain can be totally eliminated allowing the patient to return to a full, active life. Dr. Ramos explains to patients the recommended treatment or procedure and the various outcomes that can be expected.
