American Anesthesiology, and Blue Ridge HealthCare have opened a new
pain center in Hickory at 2134 14th Ave. Circle NW. The new location
is already accepting new patients.
Founded in Charlotte in 1997, Southeast Pain Care treats a wide
variety of patients' pain needs, from back pain to diabetic
neuropathy, using interventional pain techniques. The goal is to
provide patients with non-surgical options, while simultaneously
decreasing and/or eliminating the amount of pain medication necessary
to control their pain. Some examples of interventional pain techniques
include: injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency and spinal cord
stimulators.
The Hickory location is SEPC's 13th pain center in the Southeast.
"I'm excited to be a part of the team opening this center in Hickory
with Blue Ridge HealthCare," said Dr. Martin Evans, medical director
of the new facility. "This endeavor will build on our already highly
successful working relationship to enhance the quality of pain care
for patients in Hickory and the surrounding region."
All Southeast Pain care physicians are fellowship trained in pain
management as well as double board certified/eligible in
anesthesiology/neurology and pain management. Southeast Pain Care
accepts self-referrals for patients suffering from the following types
of pain: neck, back arm, leg, sciatica; nerve, headaches, migraines;
CRPS (or RSD); arthritis, post-surgical, failed back surgery;
