Center for Pain Management

The Rutgers Health Center for Pain Management, which is part of the Neurological Institute of New Jersey, provides patients with surgical and interventional pain management for relief from chronic and persistent pain. The center offers comprehensive, compassionate, and multidisciplinary approaches to pain relief, as well as rehabilitation therapies for the management of chronic cancer and spinal pain syndromes. We also perform spinal cord stimulation for patients with failed back syndrome, radicular pain syndrome, post-laminectomy pain, peripheral neuropathy, and complex regional pain syndrome.

Our physicians have expert training in pain management. Our doctors are on the faculty of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, a part of Rutgers University, one of the top research institutions in America.
