Spine & Pain Clinic

Pain specialists are doctors who treat chronic pain, i.e., a pain which is not manageable for more than 3 months or longer than the natural course oh healing process. Chronic pain is multifactorial and usually treated by a team. At Clara Swain Mission Hospital we perform precise, image-guided, evidence-based, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, along with rehabilitation and follow up. In all our protocols, appropriate psychological screening, counseling, patient education and lifestyle modifications play an integral role in the overall recovery of the patient.

A few of the conditions we treat are as follows:
