Pain Management

What is pain management?

Pain management is the practice of reducing or eliminating acute and chronic pain. At McNulty Spine, Dr. McNulty treats a wide range of painful spine injuries and conditions. Providing effective pain management services is a critical component of his services.

Dr. McNulty has extensive training in evaluating and treating spinal causes of pain and neurologic dysfunction. 

As a spine specialist, he’s aware of the high potential for injuries and degenerative conditions that cause back or neck pain as well as radiating pain in your arms and legs. 

What conditions benefit from pain management?

Any type of painful condition may benefit from pain management at McNulty Spine. For example, if you have a headache at home, you may take a nap, drink water, or take an over-the-counter pain reliever to manage your pain.

Dr. McNulty provides pain management services to relieve pain that you can’t treat at home. For example, some of the conditions Dr. McNulty addresses include:

  • Leg pain such as sciatica and neuropathy
