Pain and Injury Management

Pain Management Doctor in Arizona

The pain management doctors at Arrowhead Health Centers deliver top-of-the-line care for people with acute or chronic pain, helping them enhance their quality of life and perform daily activities without discomfort. Our providers cover a wide range of disciplines, making it easy to get all the care you need under one roof—you can get help with a pinching sensation in your neck from a nerve pain relief doctor and address headache and migraine treatment all in one sitting.

Understanding Pain & Injury Management

Pain management is the process of diagnosing, treating, and controlling pain, whether it’s acute or chronic. An acute pain treatment doctor may focus on sudden, severe pain resulting from injuries or surgeries, in an attempt to achieve quick relief and a smooth recovery. On the other hand, a chronic pain management doctor may address persistent pain lasting months or years, equipping the patient with long-term strategies to improve their well-being.​

Arrowhead Health Centers’ multidisciplinary approach is often the most effective because we incorporate various medical professionals, including palliative pain care specialists, and advanced treatment methods to address the complex nature of chronic and acute pain and help patients maintain the highest possible quality of life.
