90% of Cancer Patients Suffer From Pain

It is believed that as many as 90% of patients with advanced cancer have moderate to severe pain. The physicians and staff of the Parker Pain & Rehab Center understand the serious implications of uncontrolled pain in patients with cancer.
The figure below represents how unrelieved pain may affect the balance of well being in the patient and the family. Because the psychological aspects and other symptoms can not be easily controlled, the balance of well-being rests on compassionate effective pain management.

We believe that as patients with cancer live longer as the result of effective treatments, equally effective measures must be utilized to allow patients to live free of severe pain or overwhelming medical side-effects. We offer conservative and aggressive therapies for the treatment of pain which affects the abdomen, pelvis, vertebral column and long bones. We also offer medical management with narcotics and adjuncts for terminal and palliative care in patients who have cancer pain not amenable to ablative therapies or who desire this form of treatment.
