Request an AppointmentModern Offices Designed Around Your Comfort
Our offices in Metairie, LaPlace, Harvey, Hammond, and Lutcher are warm, welcoming, and equipped with advanced imaging and procedural technology. LA Pain Doctor is one of the few practices in the area to offer spinal cord stimulation, prolotherapy, and intrathecal (IT) pump management, giving patients access to advanced care without traveling far from home.
Compassionate Care for Chronic Pain
At LA Pain Doctor, our goal is to provide compassionate, prompt, and effective care to patients living with chronic pain, especially those who have already been evaluated and treated elsewhere without success. Occasional aches are a normal part of life, but chronic pain can take over, making it hard to work, sleep, and enjoy time with family and friends. When pain does not improve with over-the-counter medication, rest, or standard treatments, our team is here to help.
Our interventional pain management specialists diagnose and treat all types of acute and chronic pain, including Knee Pain, hip pain, headaches and migraines, shoulder pain such as rotator cuff tears, and muscle pain related to Fibromyalgia. We also specialize in musculoskeletal and spine disorders like Degenerative Disc Disease, herniated discs, Spinal Stenosis, and sciatica. Active adults and athletes can also find care for sports-related injuries.
Our Approach to Pain Management
Every patient receives a thorough evaluation designed to find the true source of their pain. From there, we build an individualized plan that may include image-guided injections such as lumbar epidural steroid injections and facet joint injections, nerve treatments like medial branch blocks and cervical facet radiofrequency neurotomy, or regenerative options like prolotherapy. When medication is appropriate, we prescribe and monitor it carefully through our pain medication management program.
To produce the best possible outcomes, we work together with patients and their families to explore options that maximize quality of life and overall function. The sooner you seek treatment, the sooner you can start enjoying life again.
