Providing quality pain management often requires a multi-modal treatment plan. The physicians at Unifour Pain Treatment Center are skilled at diagnostic and therapeutic injections and nerve blocks. In addition, we offer pharmacologic regimens including chronic opioid management when appropriate. Because of the adverse emotional impact chronic pain can have, we work closely with psychological services to treat this important aspect of our patients' well-being. The local availability of physical and occupational therapists assist us in improving our patients' functional capacity and rehabilitation. In refractory pain states, we can offer advanced modalities, such as implantation of spinal cord stimulators and intrathecal infusion pumps.

The Unifour Pain Treatment Center is a spacious and well-equipped facility centrally located in Hickory, North Carolina. There is very ample parking on site. We have dedicated procedure and consultation rooms, as well as comfortable waiting and monitored recovery area. In-house radiographic imaging is available for invasive procedures. Safe conscious sedation can be utilized during blocks for anxious patients.
